Kill Switch
Difficulty: 3 Fun: 6 Learning: 4 Utility: 8
Unlike ground robots we can't expect to flip a switch and have our vehicle come to a gentle stop. We need some kind of way to switch between manual mode and automatic mode so that in case of an abysmal software failure we can still guide our vehicle down to safety. The hard part of this project will be figuring out how to transmit the signal.
What you will need:
- Some electronics
What you will learn: After completing this you'll know how to use wireless relays and understand our electronics better.
