    Right now i only have PC, scope, solder iron, and some hand tools, that all you need to start. If you can't do by using only that, nothing gonna help.
    But right tools can make job much easier

    Hi,

     

    Since Douglas answered the first question, I will try to answer the second part.

    Ideas to implement:

    1 - Control the speed of the remote control car, and if done add an array of LEDs to show how fast it is going (one LED turns on as the speed increases).

    2 - Try to locate the position of the car from a reference point.

    3 - Try to make the car to rotate around itself (360 degrees in one spot).

    4 - Auto parking system (might be advanced).

    5 - Auto stop (if it sense that it will bump into anything then it stops).

     

    These are some ideas to implement if you will use Arduino along with a remote control car.

     

    A.A
