ROBOCar is a wireless RC car with Raspberry Pi as it's brain. The car is controlled using a Nintendo Wii Mote's Accelerometer, over bluetooth. The project won the "Best Project of 2013" in CSE/IT/MCA All years Category award in aDAVitya '13, our college tech fest, where it was the ONLY first year project showcased.

2. The Power of Pi
• A small credit card sized computer with an enormous
potential for use in small to medium level projects, home and
education purposes.

4. Technical Specifications
• A Broadcom BCM2835 CPU (ARM11 Architecture)
• 512 MB RAM Shared with GPU
• A full blown HDMI Port with 1080p video rendering
capabilities.
• RJ45, 2x USB, 1x Power, RCA Video Jack, 3.5mm Audio Out, 26
GPIO Pins

5. Python
• Python is a general purpose, high level programming
language whose design philosophy emphasizes
code readability. Python's syntax allows for programmers to
express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be
possible in languages such as and the language provides
constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small
and large scale

6. And now the Car itself

7. The Major Outline of this project
• The major outline of this project is NOT the
car itself, as it’s relatively easy and common to
make one. The main motive of creating this
project was to harness the power of a
spectacular device, and the device is….

8. The Wii Mote!
• You must have heard of Nintendo Wii, well,
quite obviously it’s controller is called the Wii
Mote. It’s a great hacker friendly device, which
can be paired with Linux using python.

9. But then what?
• I interfaced the Wii Mote on my Raspberry Pi to detect key
presses, but the best part is, it doesn’t matter anymore!
• The Wii Mote has an inbuilt Accelerometer, and the ROBO
Car is controlled by the accelerometer, NOT BY ANY
BUTTONS!

10. But How?
• It was quite a mess when I was working with the accelerometer, but Python made
it possible.
• The Car goes forward when you tilt the Wii Mote forward, it goes reverse when
you tilt the Wii Mote backwards. Similar for Left and Right as well, just tilt the
Mote in either direction.
