Adding WiFi controls to a RC car using Arduino
Brian Lough
In this video I'm going to show you how to add WiFi controls to a toy remote control car using an ESP8266.
This is actually a really simple project, so it would actually make a good project for someone pretty new to Arduino. Even the way I show it in the video I did not even need to solder for it.
