RCCar

Implementation of an autonomous rc car based on WayWise.

Main components:

• rc car base with brushless motor (almost anything works but, e.g., Traxxas can be recomended)
• Raspberry Pi (or similar)
• VESC motor controller
• u-blox F9R GNSS receiver (alternatively F9P plus BNO055 or VESC-internal IMU are supported)

Optional components:

• Luxonis AI stereo camera, e.g., OAK D (Lite, Pro, PoE, ...)
• Pozyx Creator Kit for UWB indoor positioning (rudimentary support)

MAVSDK 2.0 or newer is required and pre-built releases can be found at https://github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK/releases. To instead build MAVSDK from source, simple scripts can be found in the WayWise repository.
