The RoboRacer is controlled via the user interface hosted on a website.
On the interface, control buttons and performance metrics are available.
The web UI is easily accessible from a device (preferably a mobile device) that connects to WiFi.
Turn on the RoboRacer and compile the website.
On your device, navigate to the WiFi settings. Find the WiFi host on the device and connect to it.
Open a browser on the device and navigate to the URL http://192.168.4.1
Done! You should now see the web interface and be able to control the robot.
Note: WiFi connection is limited to one device.
The RoboRacer has two customizable components: time and distance. These values are up to the user, dependent on the desired track event the user is training for. The speed of the robot is then calculated so that it reaches the inputted distance within the given time.
Time: Enter the time you wish to finish the race by in the format mm:ss, representing minutes and seconds.
Distance: Enter the distance (in meters) you want the RoboRacer to meet the time by.
After inputting these values, lock them in with the set button. When you are ready to race, click the start button.
The stats of your run will appear after the race is finished, displaying the time, distance, and speed.
