Remote control: A computer can send the stock firmware's JSON commands over USB serial, or join the ESP32 module's Wi-Fi network for video and control. There is no official Python library, so live control means writing to the serial port or a custom sketch.
Overview
A four-wheel Arduino car kit that is assembled from modules with keyed connectors, then driven from a phone with a live camera view. It suits beginners who want to learn Arduino C along with basic wiring, and the firmware and schematics are published on GitHub. Two controllers (an UNO for motors and sensors, an ESP32 for camera and Wi-Fi) make it more capable than most cars at this price. The UNO has little memory for heavier code, and the TT motors have no encoders, so precise driving is limited.
