OpenPowerWheels is an open-source project to control children's powerwheel toys using an ESP32 development board. This project aims to provide a customizable and easy-to-build solution for motor control. Previously, this project used an Arduino dev board, but I switched it to the ESP32 dev board due to lower cost and additional features.
- ESP32 development board
- Motor driver compatible with the powerwheel's motor
- Battery suitable for the motor
- Wiring and connectors
- Powerwheel toy
- Assemble the hardware according to the schematics.
- Connect the ESP32 to your computer.
- Open the
OpenPowerWheels.inofile in the Arduino IDE. - Upload the code to the ESP32.
Turn on the power to the ESP32 and motor driver. The powerwheel is now ready to be driven using the programmed controls.
