Construct a Mecanum Wheel Robot Car controlled by a remote joystick and display using ESP32 boards in this comprehensive tutorial video. Learn about Mecanum wheels, which allow vehicles to move in any direction, and build a car with NeoPixel LEDs to visualize wheel movement. Explore the ESP-NOW protocol for two-way communication between the car and remote control. Assemble a remote using a Lilygo TTGO T-Display module featuring a TFT color display, joystick, and rechargeable battery. Follow step-by-step instructions on wheel testing, NeoPixel integration, robot and controller construction, MAC address retrieval, and programming both the robot and controller sketches. Gain insights into expanding the design with additional sensors and functions, making this project both educational and entertaining.
