Remote Lego project

This project contains all the bits needed to make a remote controllable (Lego) car model.

Lego car family

For a guide how to modify and build the physical part of this project please refer to the project page on Hackster.io (Project page) It contains instructions and a BOM for what is needed to get a remote controllable (Lego) car model.

The repository consists of two main parts: ##Embedded This is where all the code resides that is needed for the embedded car electronics. It contains code for the mainboard as well as for the control board.

Remote control applications

There are some remote control applications available for controlling the car model:

  • Android / Android Wear This simple app consists of a smartphone application and a wearable application
  • Tizen wear Contains a Tizen Wear app
  • WebApp The WebApp is hosted in a separate Repository as the distributed version gets hosted on GitHub. If you only want to control your model then you simply can use the already deployed version of this app.

Getting started

After preparing your model you want to control and after creating a Mainboard (either by using a pre-made PCB or a perfboard) you can start off putting software onto your controllers. Please refer to each components ReadMe to get a compile and flash guide:

For testing you can either use the WebApp (if you have an Android 6 device with Chrome and set it up correctly) or (more easier to set up) use the Android app
