Obstacle Avoiding Arduino-Controlled Car

To build an obstacle-avoiding car, you can use components like ultrasonic sensors, motors, and a
microcontroller (Arduino or Raspberry Pi Pico). Here's a general outline of how you can approach this
project:

Components Needed:

1. Chassis with DC motors and wheels

2. Motor Driver (such as L298D) to control the motors

3. Ultrasonic Sensor for obstacle detec on

4. Arduino or Raspberry Pi Pico for control and decision-making

5. Power supply (ba ery pack)

Steps:

1. Assemble the Chassis:- Set up the chassis and mount the DC motors with wheels.

2. Connect Motors to Motor Driver:- Connect the DC motors to the motor driver (e.g., L298D), and
connect the motor driver to the microcontroller (Arduino or Raspberry Pi Pico).

3. Connect Ultrasonic Sensor:- Connect the ultrasonic sensor to the microcontroller. Ultrasonic
sensors typically have pins for power, ground, trigger, and echo.

4. Write the Code:-

Write a program in the chosen programming language (C/C++ for Arduino, MicroPython for
Raspberry Pi Pico) to read data from the ultrasonic sensor and control the motors.

Implement logic to check for obstacles using the ultrasonic sensor data.

If an obstacle is detected, program the car to turn or change direc on to avoid the obstacle.

5. Upload Code to Microcontroller:-Upload the wri en code to the microcontroller.

6. Test and Debug:-Power up the car and test it in a controlled environment. Debug any issues and
refine the code as needed.

7. Fine-Tuning:- Adjust parameters in the code, such as turning angles and distance thresholds, for
op mal obstacle avoidance.

This project combines the capabili es of both Arduino and Raspberry Pi Pico, u lizing their
respec ve strengths in real- me control and versa lity. Keep in mind that specific details may vary
based on the exact components and programming languages you choose.
Let me provide you with brief informa on on Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico, Servo Motor, Motor Driver
L298D, and Ultrasonic Sensor:

1. Arduino:

 Arduino is an open-source electronics pla orm designed for hobbyists, makers, and
professionals to create interac ve projects.

 It consists of a microcontroller and a development environment for programming it.

 Arduino boards are widely used for various applica ons, including robo cs, home
automa on, and prototyping.

2. Raspberry Pi Pico:

 The Raspberry Pi Pico is a microcontroller board developed by the Raspberry Pi


Founda on.

 It features the RP2040 microcontroller, which is a dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+


processor.

 Raspberry Pi Pico is designed for embedded projects, and it can be programmed


using MicroPython or C/C++.

3. Servo Motor:

 A servo motor is a rotary actuator that allows precise control of angular posi on.

 It consists of a motor, a set of gears, and a feedback mechanism, typically a


poten ometer.

 Servo motors are widely used in robo cs, remote control systems, and other
applica ons where precise posi oning is required.

4. Motor Driver L298D:

 The L298D is a popular motor driver integrated circuit (IC) used to control DC motors
or stepper motors.

 It can drive two motors bidirec onally or one motor in both direc ons.

 L298D is commonly used in robo cs and other projects where motor control is
necessary.

5. Ultrasonic Sensor:

 An ultrasonic sensor uses ultrasonic waves to measure the distance between the
sensor and an object.

 It typically consists of a transmi er and a receiver to send and receive ultrasonic


pulses.

 Ultrasonic sensors are commonly used in robo cs, automa on, and distance
measurement applica ons.
