Project Idea
Build a Wi-Fi-enabled robotic car that can be controlled remotely via a smartphone using an IoT platform. This project demonstrates the use of wireless communication for robotic control and is ideal for applications in home automation, remote surveillance, and IoT learning modules.
Project Description
The IoT Controlled Robotic Car is powered by a Node MCU (ESP8266) microcontroller, which connects to Wi-Fi and allows real-time control through a web app dashboard. The user can send directional commands (forward, backward, left, right, stop) via platforms like Blynk. The car uses an L298N motor driver to control its DC motors, providing smooth movement. The system is battery-operated, portable, and offers an excellent learning platform for IoT-based robotic applications.
