MoveRCCar API using FastAPI for ChatGPT4

This project demonstrates how to create a simple MoveRCCar API using FastAPI, allowing you to control an RC car using text commands from ChatGPT4.

The API was mainly written by using chatGPT itself

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.7 or higher
  • FastAPI framework
  • PySerial library (for controlling the RC car)

Installation

NOTE: These steps assume the use of Windows CLI or Git CLI on Windows

  1. Open the CLI and locate in the appropriate directory for work on this project
  2. Create a directory called "RC_car_api"
  3. Move to that directory
  4. Create a virtual environment for the example 
    python -m venv chatgpt_rccar_api_venv
  5. Activate the environment, using one of the following commands 
    source chatgpt_rccar_api_venv/bin/activate  # for Unix/Linux
chatgpt_rccar_api_venv\Scripts\activate  # for Windows
source chatgpt_rccar_api_venv/Scripts/activate # for git CLI on windows
  6. Clone the repository within "RC_car_api" directory with the following command: 
    git clone https://github.com/Karosuo/chatgpt_rccar_api.git
  7. Install the requirements 
    pip install -r chatgpt_rccar_api/requirements.txt # Remember the correct use of forward/backward slashes when using widnows CLI or git CLI
  8. Move into the cloned directory
  9. Run the server by using the following command: 
    uvicorn main:app --reload

Examples

In order to make the car move, we can request it directly, or make it a bit more interesting, like "Your goal is to get to the apple, which is 2 blocks ahead an 1 to the right, move the car accordingly to make it to the apple"
