college-arduino-bt-rc-car

(2023.2) College project involving a RC car controlled by an Arduino MEGA 2560 via Bluetooth using the HC-05 module and the Dabble app Gamepad Module [Android & iOS]) also featuring 4x Ultrasonic Sensors to prevent crashing.

• Logic Control: Arduino MEGA 2560
• BT: HC-05 Module
• Ultrasonic Sensor: HC-SR04 (check out docs/)
• Phone BT app: Dabble (Gamepad module) (Android & iOS)

TODO

• Set the right pins (pin.h)
• (maybe) Update/embed (properly) the main images under media/ to this README.md

---

DONE

• Figure out how to split the project code into multiple files (headers)
  • Writing the basics of the header files:
    • pin.h
    • commonFunctions.h
    • US_HC-SR04.h
    • engine.h
  • Get the multiple files working together (at least 'Verifiable')
• Rename all variables of engineTesting.ino since they're basically all wrong because I considered the wrong schematics (credits to @EduardoDepari)

@2023-10-26

• OPTIMIZATION: Ultrasonic Sensor pulseIn() duration timeout
• FEATURE: (src/commonFunctions.h) runForDuration() function using millis()
  • while(runForDuration()) for *testingRoutines()

@2023-10-30

• FEATURE: forwards() - Movement restrictions based on sensors' proximity.

@2023-11-09

• (tons of refactoring and full migration from Arduino MEGA to ESP32)
• Build: Voltage regulator for the ESP32 (12 to 5V) using a LM7805
  • Redoing of power circuits/solderings considering the migration above (credits to @EduardoDepari and @KaykyNakagawa)

@2023-11-10

• Improved data types (uint*_t)
• Usage of constexpr instead of #define
• Added proper debugging modes
  • DEBUG_MODE
  • DEBUG_MODE_ROUTINE_LOOPING_ONLY

@2023-11-14

• Improved debugging modes
• migrated back to Arduino due to college supply problems
• FEATURE: added BOOST mode
