Self-Driving Car

by Addison, Emily, Jack, and Yi Ying

Features

Obstacle Sensing

With the help of four ultrasonic sensors, the car can sense barriers in the way of its path. The car will know to avoid them.

Bluetooth Controlled

The bluetooth shield on the car allows it to be controlled with your phone. Like a remote control, you can make the car start, stop, and turn.

Automatic Turning

Whenever the ultrasonic sensors see a blockage, the car won't just stop. Instead, it will automatically turn to the nearest clear path and continue its journey.

Arduino Compatible

On the back of the car, there is an Arduino board. This makes it easy to program. If you want to add more features, simply plug it in the computer and program away!

Steps

  • Step 1

    Planning

    Our plan was to make a car with automatic turns and the ability to be controlled via bluetooth. We decided to use this arduino car that was specifically built to be arduino compatible and came with four motors. After, used specific shields, such as the bluetooth shield and the motor shield.

  • Step 2

    Building

    The arduino car came with a set of instructions and the materials to make. Yi Ying was in charge of the building. He also connected the motors to the motorshield and arduino.

  • Step 3

    Programming

    Since we used an arduino board, we used the arduino software to write out the code. Addison programmed the arduino, including the features such as the turning and bluetooth controlling.

  • Step 4

    Sharing

    We're done with the building! Now with all the features integrated, our amazing car is ready to be shared! Emily created this page and Jack did a presentation. Check it out!
