# RC Car

# ! PROJECT IN PROGRESS !

## Overview

 - Hardware

   - Car

   - Phone 

   - Esp8266 

 - Software

   - Computer Program to control

   - Android app

   - Board program

    

## Hardware

[See instructions here](doc/hardware.md)





## Computer program

 - Shall be able to connect to phone (ip address, port) in local network

 - Shall be able to control car movement (forward / backward [-1.0, 1.0], steering [-1.0, 1.0])

 - Shall be able to receive images from camera

 - Shall be able to record it camera image

 - Shall be able to receive GPS info, accelerometer value (?)

 - Shall be able to receive phone info - battery percent

 - Control usingKeyboard / Gamepad / Wheel ?

## Android App

 - Shall be able to run http server

 - Shall be able to receive command for car movement

 - Shall be able to stream camera to computer program in real time 

 - Shall be able to send GPS and other phone info

 - Shall be able to connect the board and send command (speed, steering)



### API

 - `GET /camera` - return image 

 - `GET /info` - return phone info 

 - `GET /camerapREVIEW` - return a small image 

 - `GET /position?timeout=` - return GPS position

 - `GET /drive?motor=[speed]&steering[angle]` -  control car

 - `POST /setStream?ipAddress=[ipAddress]&port[port]` -  set the stream receiver

 - `POST /startStream` -  start stream to the set receiver

 - `POST /stopStream` -  stop stream

## Board program

 - Shall receive info from phone and set motors and steering according it.

 - Communication using Wifi (hotspot) or serial port

 - WIFI:

      - In board program `USE_WIFI true`

      - Run on port `5101`

      - UDP Packet structure (3 bytes) - `[1, STEERING, MOTOR]`

         - `STEERING` - `1` - LEFT, `2` - RIGHT, `3` - STRAIGHT, other values does not change current status

         - `MOTOR` - `1` - FORWARD, `2` - BACKWARD, `3` - STOP, other values does not change current status

 - Serial Port

      - In board program `USE_WIFI false`

      - Communication via USB Serial.

      - Packet structure (3 bytes) - `[1, STEERING, MOTOR]`

         - `STEERING` - `1` - LEFT, `2` - RIGHT, `3` - STRAIGHT, other values does not change current status

         - `MOTOR` - `1` - FORWARD, `2` - BACKWARD, `3` - STOP, other values does not change current status
