Welcome to the Smartcar wiki!

Introduction

This wiki documents the Smartcar, a small mini vehicle and robotics platform based on Arduino and the Smartcar shield. The platform uses open source components, both on software and hardware level and is meant to be used for educational purposes. This library is based on the Smartcar Core, Smartcar Sensors and AndroidCar libraries. It is not standardized yet, meaning that it cannot be used out-of-the-box in other situations regardless of hardware setups. The main dependency is the Smartcar shield, which controls two (or four) DC motors, in order to drive the vehicle and the L3G4200D (GY-50) gyroscope, to control rotation.
