Beyond DingoCar

It's not just a car
The car is more than just a car.

It contains a full Raspberry pi (3? 4?), with a custom pcb that contains:


 * PWM with 4? 8? headers to control the car, but you can also use them to power other components.
 * X x USB
 * 128x128 OLED display
 * Raspberry Pi camera
 * ... other awesome things

The car can be powered by the battery pack, or you can power the board directly via a power cable.

The computer componentry is held within a lego-compatible case so you can mount it/connect it easily to other constructions.

Operating the components
OLED digital display

Sample code to drive the OLED is in the play/oled directory, demonstrating how to write text and send images.

PWM


 * Powering basic leds,
 * Controlling leds.

Ideas for taking it further

 * Add some smart leds to indicate when the car is turning/braking/detecting an obstacle
 * Add some antenna/a tail/some wings to signal some car behaviour.
 * Use the Pi to control lego componentry instead of an RC car.
 * Automated watering system
 * Build a drone
 * ... even more superbly great stuff
