The detailed instructions on how to build it can be found on my blog here: https://www.thinker-talk.com Assembly instructions are available at this link: https://www.thinker-talk.com/post/bluecard-part-9-the-ultimate-print-and-assembly-manual For a visual guide, check out the assembly animation on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je1wa_tdTrQ Have you ever wanted to build your own RC car, but felt intimidated by complex designs and expensive electronics? That's exactly how I felt. So, I designed this car from scratch. Here's a sneak peek at what we've created: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApLK9nISORw My goal was to create an easy-to-print RC car using affordable standard electronic components. I also wanted to make it possible to control the car with my phone, eliminating the hassle of lost remote controls. With this in mind, I came up with BlueCArd (short for BLUEtooth r/c Car with Arduino). Here are some key features that set BlueCArd apart: - It's easy to print, with most elements requiring no support and printing at 0.3 layer height. - Easy to build, requiring almost no soldering - just a few m3 bolts will do the trick. - Cheap standard parts: Watch this video for a quick overview of what you'll need: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUR6pL9LVuU You can find a detailed list of all necessary components here: https://www.thinker-talk.com/post/bluecard-3d-printed-arduino-rc-car-part-1 The electronics are designed to be simple and easy to understand. I'll explain everything in detail on my blog: https://www.thinker-talk.com, as well as on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/maylow99/videos. To get started, install the Android RC App from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nenoff.ardbttest You can find the source code for this project on GitHub: https://github.com/nenovmy/ardcar. For a step-by-step guide on how to build BlueCArd, check out these tutorials: https://www.thinker-talk.com/post/bluecard-3d-printed-arduino-rc-car-part-1 The final assembly instructions are coming soon! Once you've connected the electronics, the rest should be easy and self-explanatory.
