DroneBot Workshop via YouTube

Overview

Learn how to repurpose PS3 controllers as sophisticated remote controls for ESP32 projects in this comprehensive tutorial video. Discover the process of interfacing PS3 controllers with ESP32 using the ESP32-PS3 Library, enabling control of motors, LEDs, and more. Explore practical applications through a robot car experiment platform, demonstrating LED control, RGB LED manipulation, servo motor operation, Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor integration, and DC motor management. Follow along as the instructor guides you through obtaining controller MAC addresses, utilizing library demos, and implementing various control features, including accelerometer data and rumble functionality. By the end of this tutorial, gain the knowledge to create a fully functional robot car controlled by a PS3 remote, opening up possibilities for unique and cost-effective remote control solutions in your ESP32 projects.
