Hot Wheels PCB Design
STM32 Nucleo, C, Python, Control System
Project Overview
Hey there! This Hot Wheels Remote-Controlled Car project was born from a mix of curiosity and passion. We’re a bunch of students who decided to take the classic Hot Wheels and give it a modern twist but we wanted to make a design that would fit any Hot Wheels. We dove headfirst into the PCB design, making sure every component had its perfect place. Then, we added wireless magic with the NRF24L01 transceiver, allowing us to control our car from a distance. Steering? That’s covered too, thanks to our nifty linear servo motor. And let’s not forget about the power behind the wheels – a 600mAh LiPo battery keeps it going for ages. We wrote our own firmware using STM32Cube to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Key Features
- Custom PCB Design: Designed a custom PCB for optimal integration of components and compact form factor.
- NRF24L01 Transceiver: Integrated a NRF24L01 transceiver for wireless communication, enabling remote control functionality.
- DC Motor Control: Utilized an H-bridge BD6211F-E2 for precise control of a DC motor, providing propulsion for the Hot Wheels car.
- Lithium Polymer Battery: Powered the project with a 600mAh LiPo battery, offering sufficient capacity for extended operation.
- Linear Servo Motor Steering: Implemented a linear servo motor for accurate and responsive steering control, enhancing maneuverability.
- STM32Cube Project: Developed firmware using STM32Cube for the STM32F070F6P6TR microcontroller, enabling seamless integration with hardware components.
- User-Friendly Remote Control: Designed an intuitive remote control interface for easy operation and navigation of the Hot Wheels car.
