ESP 8266 RC

this an almost generic firmware project (written for ESP8266) for Remote Controlled Cars (RC). The remote works over a WIFI connection and in a single-page web application.

This project is still under development and research, so as soon as the hardware is figured out, all the hardware schematics and the PCB (maybe) will be available.

Supported Boards:

• ESP-8266
  • ESP-01
  • ESP-12
• ESP-32
  • ESP-32-WROOM
  • ESP-32-CAM

Project structure

• The project contains the following:
  • Firmware
    • Developed in PlatformIO
    • Arduino Framework
    • Used ArduinoJson
    • Used PCF8574
    • Web Server
    • Static File Server
    • Web API
    • mDNS
    • OTA Update
  • Web page static files
    • Used LittleFS
    • Index page HTML, CSS, JS
    • manifest.json
    • SVG and PNG icons
    • Config.json

Features

• This firmware currently supports:

  • Head Lights
  • Break Lights
  • Signal Lights
  • Gear System (only DRIVE, NEUTAL, and REVERSE are supported)
  • Horn
  • Fixed Speed DC Motor Drive (FORWARD and REVERSE)
  • Steering (Servo based)
  • Debug Console

• These Features might also be implemented in the near future:
