Due to the fact, the low cost remote control car’s steeringmechanism consisted of just a DC motor; we used a motordriver that paired well with the Arduino Uno to turn theArduino signal into a physical action. While the initial prototype completed its intended task, weunderstood our final model would require a higher velocityand a more advanced steering control.
