DIY Bluetooth RC Car

Last year I started a project to convert my (then) four-year old’s busted Radio Controlled (RC) car into Bluetooth controlled one which could be driven using a smart phone or tablet. The original car, modeled after a “Fast and Furious” Nissan Silvia, was a pretty basic RC with 2-channel on-off (non-proportional) style controls, and while Micah enjoyed

SL4A Bluetooth Controller

Having had a bit of an unproductive Easter break I think it’s about time I got back to posting the concluding details of how the transmitter for the Bluetooth RC was implemented. I built the PIC-based motor and servo controller before acquiring the BlueSMiRF module so initially I wrote the following simple Python script based
