Have you ever wanted to build yourself a 2WD Electric Car and control it wirelessly especially through your Android application? In this post, I am going to share some concepts and simple working ...

Randy Sarafan, who also happens to be the Technology Editor over on Instructables, gutted a remote-controlled car and swapped the parts for an Arduino board.

Inspired by the many autonomous rovers such as Curiosity and the self-driving Google car, [Rohit] decided to build his own by taking an off-the-shelf remote control car and adding his own electronics.

The setup requires an Avatal 3117 remote start, an iPhone breakout board, an Arduino, a switching supply cell charger and a handful of transistors, resistors and diodes.

[Gilad] tipped us about his latest project, where he adds plenty of pneumatics and electronics into his wife’s car to remote control it. The brake/throttle pedals are actuated by pistons cont… ...

The system makes it feel as though you are sitting behind the wheel of the smaller remote control car and is powered by an Arduino Uno along with an IBT-2 H-Bridge to control the 24V motors.

But if your car doesn't have a remote ignition, you can build your own remote start system that responds to a text message from an iPhone.

This Instructables guide will show you how you can use an Arduino to control your TV, DVD player, VCR, and countless other home electronics.
