Hi all, For my senior design project, I am plannign on adding a microcontroller (68hc11) to a RC model car that will effectively bypass the receiver on the car and the servos/motors/relays. Basically, I want the microcontroller to allow normal signals from the handheld transmitter to pass to the servos et al, but will take over when certain conditions (sensed by ultrasonic transducers) occur. I would like accurate control of the motors and steering, so I figure a "serious" model car (ie not the Radio Shack cars) would be suitable. Does anyone have any experience with RC cars? modifying them? Any suggestions and comments would be much appreciated! I can post a summary for others who are also interested. Thanks again!
