Wheels On The Run

I learned a lot of stuff from laser cutting wood to wiring a motor. Hi my name is August and I built a remote control car. The first thing I did was get the materials for my project. The materials that I got were a breadboard, a raspberry pi Pico, a stepper motor, a control panel, wires, and a wooden board. The whole thing cost about 11 dollars in total. Next, on my first day, I laser cut my wooden board to make a skeleton for my project. I made an outline on a piece of paper and then I outlined it on Corel draw, which is a website used for laser cutting.

Then on my second day, I searched the internet about how to wire a raspberry pi Pico to a stepper-motor. I had a difficult time finding a video to show me how to do it, but in the end, it turned out okay. On the third day, I looked for the wires and the raspberry pi Pico. This took a long time because it was my first time trying to find the materials in the room. Finally on the fourth day, I welded my raspberry pi Pico to the breadboard, connected my skeleton together, and wired my raspberry pi Pico to the stepper motor and the control panel.

I didn’t finish it because I got confused and I needed a lot of help. I mostly need help with coding the stepper motor to the remote control. Also, I need to wire three more raspberry pi Pico to three stepper motors. In the end, I learned a lot and had lots of fun doing this. I believe I can finish this amazing project next interim.
