Color-Controlled Smart Car with Arduino and RGB Sensor

🚗 Today, we are building an intelligent car that can turn right or left and stop based on the colors it detects on the ground.

🎨 We will be using an Arduino, as well as an RGB sensor that can detect colors in front of it.

🔌 Other components include a motor with a wheel, a breadboard, a battery holder, and a relay for electronic switching.

🚗 This video is about creating a prototype of an electric and autonomous car.

💻 Alura, a popular online technology school in Brazil, offers courses on programming, design, innovation, and management.

🛠️ The construction of the car involves assembling the hardware and using materials like popsicle sticks and hot glue.

🚗 Creating a car controlled by colors using an RGB sensor and colored paper.

⚙️ Adjusting the sensor height to be close to the colored paper without touching the ground.

🔋 Using a Power Bank for the Arduino and a set of batteries for the wheels.

🔌 To prevent the Arduino from burning out, a separate set of batteries was used to power the motors.

🔄 The logic of the car is simple: it can move forward when both wheels are activated, turn left when only the right wheel is activated, and turn right when only the left wheel is activated.

🟢 When the sensor detects the color green, the car starts moving, while detecting the color red makes the car turn right.

🚗 The video demonstrates the creation of a color-controlled car.

🔄 The car's turning ability is controlled by the duration of time the wheels are stopped.

⏱️ Adjusting the time the wheels are stopped allows for different turning angles.

📌 The video is about creating a color-controlled car using Arduino.

🔎 The sensor used in the project sends three numbers representing the amount of red, green, and blue it detects, ranging from 0 to 255.

💡 The code for the Arduino is not based on specific colors, but on the readings from the sensor, allowing for flexible programming.

🚗 We built a car controlled by colors using Arduino.

👍 The car successfully followed the color commands.

💡 This project is a beginner-friendly way to learn Arduino and experiment with circuitry.
