Little 1/28 autonomous race car

[Prototyx]

Hello,

I would like to share with you my project of creating a mini autonomous car from scratch.

I have chosen  1/28 scale because frames, motors and batteries are not so expensive with this scale.

I design myself the PCBs and assemble it also myself.

I divided my project in several parts :

Basic control (throttling, braking, turning):
Part 1 : Make my own ESC on an Atmega328P (same as Arduino Uno) --> Done
Part 2 : Integrate my ESC on and a receiver on an Uno board --> Done
Part 3 : Testing the car as e regular RC car to check all basic functions are OK --> Done

Make it Automatic :
Part 4 : Make a fast line follower --> Done

Make it Autonomous :
Part 5 : Integrate a Raspberry pi 4 (CM4) and make a custom stereo camera to be able to avoid obstacles and detect turns. --> Ongoing

Here are some pictures of the project :

I have a lot of raw videos and pictures of the project but I need time to have a correct result.

Here is the video of part 1 :



I will update with new content the first message if people are interested.

Have a nice day.
