| | | Build an RF-Controlled Robotic Car: Using Two PIC32 MCUs |
| In this project article, learn how these Cornell students implemented an RF wireless vehicle, using two PIC32s that can be controlled using a steering-wheel-like interface equipped with an accelerometer to make the controls intuitive. The MCUs communicate between the wheel and the robot using 434MHz RF technology. |
