Simple Car Design with Functional Features
In this project, I was required to design and build a simple car made out of foam and wood for my Tech Design course. To exceed the expectations of my teacher, I outfitted the car with a functional steering system, flashing police lights, and realistic police sirens. These features were all implemented using simple ICs (555 timers, L293D motor driver).
Final Car Design (Foam and Wood)
3D Model of the Car on Sketchfab
Key Features
- Functional Steering System: Designed for realistic vehicle motion.
- Flashing Police Lights: Used simple ICs like the 555 timer for flashing light effects.
- Police Sirens: Implemented using a basic L293D motor driver for sound output.
Applications and Benefits
This car project demonstrates practical engineering using basic ICs to create functional systems. The car not only meets the project requirements but also adds innovative features like the steering system and police lights, showcasing creativity and hands-on experience with electronics and mechanics.
