Maximilian Kern has developed a rather interesting project with a simple and smooth design: a remote-controlled car. To make the overall design as compact as possible, he soldered the car's various components onto a custom PCB. To be precise, this is an FPV (first person perspective) car. As the name suggests, FPV means that the remote control car is controlled with the help of a mini camera mounted on the driver's seat. The FPV car designed by Maximilian has various features, such as video streaming via Wi-Fi, requiring only a small LiPo battery for power, and remote and precise control through any web browser.
Features:
ESP32-WROOM-32
3D printed car chassis
Analog control via WebSocket interface
Low latency playback (~100 ms) and streaming resolution of 160x120px
Customized PCB
3.7 V LiPo battery
Micro-USB for programming and charging
The core of this project is the ESP32-WROOM-32 module. As a powerful microprocessor, this module does not require any application. As long as you have a web browser, you can achieve remote control on a PC or mobile terminal. Unlike other browser-based robots, the web interface in this project uses a virtual analog control joystick that can be accurately operated through any touch screen or mouse, or even keyboard input.
Although the video quality brought by the streaming resolution of 160×120 is not very impressive, the video images presented at a higher frame rate through the ESP32 module are enough to meet our requirements for car control through a simple web interface. This alone It's very impressive. This FPV car can not only operate in AP mode, but can also connect to existing Wi-Fi routers. It's powered by a LiPo battery, which can be charged via a micro-USB port. This interface can also be used for ESP32 programming operations. The car also features monitoring of temperature and battery voltage, as well as high LED output brightness.
