An RC Car that translates detected movement of the remote control into acceleration in the x and y direction. Inspired by common toy rc cars controlled by joysticks and buttons - we decided to add our own spin to current designs.

Please note in the video, both car and rc are pluged into computer for 5v power supply due to a lack of material on our end (this will be fixed at a later date - as will the design and frame). The only communication that is occuring between the two separate systems is wireless.

Utilizing the concept of 'master-slave', the data read from the accelerometer via I2C communication is recorded by the RP2040, and sent from the 'master' HC-05 to the 'slave' HC-05. The RP2040 then processes this data and translates measured x and y directional acceleration into the corresponding movement of 4 motors, controlled by 2 motor drivers. If the accelerometer detects an acceleration greater than +/-5000 mg (raw ADC counts), then the car will move forward/backward accordingly.
