Abstract
The Testla project is the culmination of our efforts to create an autonomously operated RC Car by pooling together our experience in software design, hardware design, power systems, and mobile application development. Project development started in February of 2022 and ended in May. (NOTE: One more sentence probably)
Introduction
The project was divided into 5 modules:
- Bridge and Sensor Information
- Motor Operation
- Geological Information
- Driver and LCD Manager
- Android Application
