| | Andrew Bell - EE 476 Final Project |
 | | We could have just controlled the car from the microcontroller board, using pushbuttons, but we envisioned a stand-alone controller, namely using the original. |
 | | The car contained two batteries: one 9.6V battery from the original car was used to power all the motors (the front motor running at 5V due to a voltage regulator), while an ordinary 9V battery was used to power the microcontroller, again through another 5V regulator. |
 | | Since our original objective was to get the car running as it was originally, we decided it was necessary that all of the circuitry be transferred from the large, heavy breadboards to smaller PC boards where the components were soldered on. |
