PLEASE READ THIS!!
hey guys i am currently shipping this project because i spent 35 hours on the last one and only got 200 stardust:(
anyways disclaimer i paid for everything shown here with my last bit of money so please give me good ratings guys i need it!!
AmateurCar is just a car powered by arduino an L298N driver module and an HC05!! it was extremely difficult to make because one wrong move and then you will have to unfortunately do everything all over again by yourself which SUCKS, there is NO AI used in this whatsoever, you guys can see the project in the devlogs and see how it progressed:0
Honestly it isnt very useable but it is a good template for someone who wants to make it honestly, they could just use this as the base and the 42hr work will be done in 10!
Thank you all to anyone who gives out a good rating, it really will do alot for me:)

Devlog #10: UPDATE it finally works, I changed the firmware and the car actually works!! I had a lot of issues like the mantler breaking and the wheels falling off the paint wearing off, but we did it! This is probably the last time I touch it before it breaks haha! It was super fun to make tho no matter how frustrating it was it’s always been fun:) also i think my HC05 is fake idk

Devlog #9: just added the arduino board and made my L298N work! Don’t get me wrong the screwing part is so hard bc the wires just did NOT want to come together but hey, progress

Devlog #8: so bad news, the wheels weren’t wired correctly so they couldn’t really move, I had to do the whole redesign and I accidentally froze the switch in place by using glue to stick it to the platform bad idea aswell, so I just swapped it out with a new one, now I’m debating whether I should change the microcontroller from arduino to esp32 but I’m prob gonna use arduino since I spent more money on the esp32 and I might need it for more important projects

Devlog #7: almost done with the car, I burned myself I had hot solder fall on my leg and I lost some skin I also cut myself on accident because hardware is FRUSTRATING boy I better get good reviews on this cause HOLY I did not expect it to be this hard
