Getting Started
This repository provides the following resources to get you started building your robot car:
- Hardware schematics: Learn about how these components are connected.
- Codebase: Explore the code for core functionalities like obstacle avoidance and line following.
- (Optional) Voice control implementation details: (placeholder, to be filled as you develop voice control functionality).
Building Instructions
- Review the hardware schematics and ensure you have all the necessary components listed above.
- Assemble the robot car following the schematics and wiring diagrams for the Arduino UNO, motor driver, sensors, and other components.
- Load the codebase onto your Arduino UNO (specific instructions will be added).
- (Optional) Develop and integrate the Android application code for smartphone control.
Further Exploration
This project lays the foundation for further development. Here are some ideas to expand your robot's capabilities:
- Refine Voice Control: Enhance the voice control functionality with a wider range of commands and improved accuracy.
- Android App Integration: Integrate the Android application code for full smartphone control.
- Advanced Obstacle Avoidance: Explore more sophisticated obstacle avoidance algorithms using additional sensors (e.g., ultrasonic sensors).
- Sensor Fusion: Combine data from multiple sensors (e.g., line following sensors and obstacle avoidance sensors) for a more robust control system.
- Servo Motor Implementation: Explore functionalities using the SG90 servo motor (e.g., implementing a gripper or a camera mount).
- Bluetooth Communication: Develop functionalities using the HC-05 Bluetooth module (e.g., Bluetooth control from a smartphone app).
