Connection diagram and components
-
The kit could use some mechanical adjustments, like height elevation, reducing steering limitations, reducing mechanical friction. All by following this guide
-
The kit steering may not be configured properly, so steering value could have an error when doing a movement. By following this guide you can ensure the value set is the real one.
-
There’s not a movement function corelating PWM signal to speed value, so a series of measurements have been done manually. If a more precise resolution is desired (ex: 211.2 mm/s), measurements can be done again by following this guide.

In this section, you can find all the topics related to the hardware of the vehicle, which is a 1/10 scale on-road chassis variant.
Each vehicle can come with various hardware small modifications, as it is designed for hobby usage.
Here’s the description of the car, with all it’s components:
In the following schematics you can see the connections diagram of all the HW components of the car. The GPIO lines are marked on each component.
And here’s the table with all the components and all the needed details.
