Controlling an RC car with your mobile phone can be easy when you know the right devices to use.
Easy controlling for your RC car
“Always wanted to control my RC car with a mobile phone, I tried this way and it was super easy.”
RC car racing is a great fun, but have you ever wondered how to control your car more easily?
Use Raspberry Pi to send control signals
Follow this http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Smartphone-Controlled-Rc-Car/ tutorial to setup your Raspbery Pi inside a RC car.
But notice that connect the PWM signals different way, connect the GPIO 17 to the steering servo of your RC car and the GPIO 18 to the ESC Motor that drives the RC car.
After that instead of the part 4 and parts after that follow this instruction.
Install gigabrain
Install the mobile app gigabrain.io demo controller software from here http://gigabrain.io/demo/standalonedemo.html
You can follow the instructions there or even use a PCA9685 board instead of the Software PWM pins to control your RC car.
