Here’s a very simple DIY remote controlled car project. Among other things, it uses a wooden board, some DC motors, and Blynk, a platform with IOS and Android apps to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi over the Internet. From Yannis Ragkavas via hackster.io

I started with the easy stuff. A car. Cars are easy since they only have 4 wheels and can go forward, backward, left and right. I then needed a chassis. I thought let’s buy one. Hm, nope, since it is more fun if you do it by yourself. Anyway, I just used a simple square wood :).

I bought 4 wheels and 4 dc motors. But these cannot be attached to the board. They need something to “control” them, hence I bought also an L298N controller which has protection compared to a simple H-bridge. Believe me, I burned 2 boards.

See project!
