The JetRacer Assembly project is our team's first step in the Seam:Me Mobility course. This hands-on project allows us to dive into the world of electronics, robotics, and programming by assembling and testing a JetRacer — a small racing car powered by the Jetson Nano Developer Kit. Through this project, we enhanced our skills in software programming and practical problem-solving. We explored the construction of the car and plan to develop 3D parts for future enhancements. We learned about motors, car controlling with C language, and remote control.
In this project, we have two main components:
- Car Controller: Developed in C, this component is responsible for controlling the motors, direction, speed, and other functionalities of the car.
- Xbox Controller: Also developed in C, this component serves as the remote controller, allowing for the control of the car's movements and actions.
This section lists the major technologies and tools used for this project.
- JetRacer AI RaceCar Kit Motors, wheels, chassis, and sensors for constructing the PiRacer vehicle.
- Jetson Nano Developer Kit: Used for controlling the vehicle and processing data.
Once the JetRacer is assembled, follow these instructions to bring it to life:
