ESP48

For the 2nd year embedded systems project students are tasked with designing and building a line-following buggy in a team of 5. Over the course of the year we had to complete several labs, technical demonstations and a final race between the top scoring teams. Our buggy won the race setting a new record of 41.4s and remains the reigning champion since. My teammate has written extensive documentation on the software behind the buggy which can be found here https://github.com/Amrlxyz/esp-lfr-buggy.

Project Highlights:

• Custom arcylic chassis design
• PI motor speed control using PWM
• PID line-following algorithm
• Python logger for tuning PID values
• Custom sensor array PCB
• Individual sensor and motor characterisation
• Wireless control using bluetooth commands
• Technical report writing to justify design choices
