- DES Project - PiRacer Assembly (PiRacer)
The purpose of this project is to provide students with hands-on experience in assembling and testing a PiRacer, a small, single-board computer-based racing car. The project will cover the basics of electronics, programming, and robotics, and will provide students with a foundation in these important areas of technology.
The PiRacer is a compact, single-board computer-based racing car that uses the Raspberry Pi computer as its brain. In this project, students will be working together in teams to assemble and test their PiRacers. The project will require students to use a variety of tools and technologies, including soldering irons, multimeters, and programming languages like Python.
