Project Details


Organisation: NUS Electrical Computer Engineering
Mentor: Mr Henry Tan
Members: Caleb Loei, Tang Li Meng, Hong De, Ryan Lee
Project Title: Remote Controlled Car


A. Brief Description of Project

Our task for this attachment is to construct a remote controlled car from scratch, using not just normal engineering techniques, but also involving computer work in the process, hence the term ECE (Electrical Computer Engineering)

B. Results
A complete remote controlled car able to fulfill several functions
1.Able to react to signals from the remote control
2. Move in a straight line, both forward as well as backwards
3. Able to turn both left and right
4. Able to emit a sound from the buzzer as well as light from the LED

C. Reflection

Three content knowledge/skills that we have learnt

1. We learnt how to use Altium Designer 6, a program specifically used to design the PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
2. We understood the mechanics behind each and every component in the circuit
3. We learnt the entire process behind fabricating a PCB
4. We learnt essential engineering skills such as wiring, soldering and drilling

Two interesting aspects about our learning

1. We were able to experience the university way of learning, i.e. doing experiments in a lab with minimal guidance
2. We were given freedom to customize our project as we felt fit, thus making our cars truly unique

One take-away for life

1. Patience. Without it, I am sure we would all be tearing our heads out trying to cross the obstacles in front of us. :D
