Super Car Utilizes an Arduino and is controlled via a Wireless Playstation2 Controller. Also controllable via Serial and TV Remote as demonstrated in my other videos: Video Dialog: The car's original remote is inside this Altoids Tin. This is the wireless receiver for the Playstation 2 gamepad. Here are the connections for the PS2 controller as well as the voltage divider for the battery gauge and other power wires. (This is the gear control switch, rigged for LOW currently.) The horn, digital potentiometer chips for the car remote and the voltage regulator for the car remote are here. The LCD screen displays 3 screens with current internal program values as well as the fuel gauge. A quick demonstration of how to control the car via the PS2 gamepad. Now for a drive! This car was designed with digital proportional drive controls and I have been able to replicate this control via the analog joysticks of the PS2 gamepad. Thanks for watching!
