A Mecanum Wheel Car with Knight Rider lights controlled by Bluetooth is a cutting-edge project that combines innovative technology with sleek design. The heart of this creation beats with an Arduino Uno, a microcontroller renowned for its versatility and ease of use. To bring this vision to life, a Shield L293D was employed, providing a robust platform for driving the 4 Gear Motor for Arduino. These motors are specifically designed to work seamlessly with the Arduino ecosystem, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. Wireless connectivity is facilitated by the Bluetooth HC 06 module, which enables seamless communication between devices. The Knight Rider lights, a hallmark of this project, are powered by six LEDs that flash in synchronization, creating an otherworldly effect. A Voltage Regulator 7805 was carefully selected to ensure stable power supply, safeguarding the delicate electronics within. To give the car its unique look and feel, Rollers were printed using filaflex, a versatile material known for its durability and flexibility. An Inner bushing of PLA was used to add structural integrity to these rollers. For added stability and precision, Steel Shafts with a diameter of 2mm were incorporated into the design. These precision-crafted components ensure that every movement is smooth and controlled. To showcase this remarkable creation in action, several videos have been uploaded to YouTube, offering a glimpse into its capabilities.
