RCPico
Raspbery Pi Pico W RC car
WIFI RC Car controller using RPI Pico W
The car can be controlled using an web-browser on a mobilephone or PC using WIFI
There is no need for a PCB, just connect the hardware compenents using wires acording to the schematics
To cleanup the wires the project includes a PCB-boarddesign for the 3D printed car Gamma 2.0
