Project Overview

Project Description

The example project discussed in this document is an RC car that is controlled by a mobile app. The mobile app and the RC car communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

System Overview

The project consists of three systems:

Hardware System: the electrical and mechanical components that form the physical car.
Mobile Application: an Android/iOS application that sends commands to the car via BLE.
System Firmware: the software program running on the RC car. It receives BLE signals from the mobile app and uses those to determine how the car should move.
