# AccelDrive

This project consists of two main components: a server that reads accelerometer data from an MPU6050 sensor and a client that controls a robot car based on the received gestures. The server broadcasts the detected gestures via UDP, and the client receives these gestures to control the robot car's movements.

## Components

### Server (server_accelerometer.ino)

The server reads data from an MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope sensor to detect gestures. It then broadcasts these gestures over a UDP connection.

#### Features:

- Connects to a Wi-Fi network.

- Reads accelerometer data to detect gestures.

- Broadcasts detected gestures via UDP.

#### Setup:

1. Connect the MPU6050 sensor to the microcontroller.

2. Update the `arduino_secrets.h` file with your Wi-Fi credentials.

3. Upload the `server_accelerometer.ino` sketch to your microcontroller.

#### Gesture Detection:

- Forward: `F`

- Backward: `B`

- Left: `L`

- Right: `R`

- None: `N`

### Client (client_robot_car.ino)

The client receives the gestures broadcasted by the server and controls the robot car's motors accordingly.

#### Features:

- Connects to a Wi-Fi network.

- Listens for UDP packets containing gesture data.

- Controls the robot car's motors based on the received gestures.

#### Setup:

1. Connect the motor driver to the microcontroller and the robot car's motors.

2. Update the `arduino_secrets.h` file with your Wi-Fi credentials.

3. Upload the `client_robot_car.ino` sketch to your microcontroller.

#### Motor Control:

- Move Forward: `F`

- Move Backward: `B`

- Turn Left: `L`

- Turn Right: `R`

- Stop: `N`

## Wiring Diagrams

### Server (MPU6050 to Microcontroller)

- VCC to 3.3V

- GND to GND

- SCL to SCL

- SDA to SDA

### Client (Motor Driver to Microcontroller)

- ENA to Pin 9

- IN1 to Pin 8

- IN2 to Pin 7

- ENB to Pin 3

- IN3 to Pin 5

- IN4 to Pin 4

## Dependencies

- Adafruit MPU6050 Library

- Adafruit Sensor Library

- WiFiS3 Library

- WiFiUdp Library

## Usage

1. Power on both the server and client microcontrollers.

2. Ensure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

3. The server will start broadcasting gestures detected by the MPU6050 sensor.

4. The client will receive these gestures and control the robot car's motors accordingly.

## Troubleshooting

- Ensure the Wi-Fi credentials in `arduino_secrets.h` are correct.

- Verify the wiring connections for both the MPU6050 sensor and the motor driver.

- Check the serial monitor for any error messages or debug information.
