Wifi RC Car ESP8266
✴ To create my Wifi car, I used the NodeMCU V3 microcontroller which includes an ESP8266 Wifi module. The car can be controlled either in AP mode (Access Point) or in STA mode (Station).
✴ The steps to control your car are:
• connect your smartphone to the same wifi network as your wifi car.
• Make sure that the application parameters are correct (IP, PORT, etc..).
• Have fun!
✴ 3 different ways to control your car:
• buttons.
• accelerometer.
• voice.
✴ List of default commands sent to your car server to control the motors are :
• http://IP:PORT/move?dir=F (Forward)
• http://IP:PORT/move?dir=B (Backward)
• http://IP:PORT/move?dir=R (Turn Right)
• http://IP:PORT/move?dir=L (Turn Left)
• http://IP:PORT/move?dir=S (Stop)
• http://IP:PORT/action?type=(1-8) (Action 1 to 8)

Good job! Nicely integrates ESP code and App. Extremely nice app! Only thing I had to tweak was the mapping of the direction buttons as my motors are apparently wired differently. But this is the absolute best about this whole project: It's all available on github! Great project all around! Thanks for taking the time to make the Android app available on the playstore!
Most useful and Functional app, made my day, Easy to use Code, even for me with close to 0 experience with arduino, managed to change and adjust under my needs, now it controls boat with servo and dc motors :) Great Job Thank You
good app ever, good work keep it up, plz add wifi camera feed, and joystick modes in settings , so we can customize remote as per choice and nodemcu code uodate with wifi camera streaming, in remote also add additional buttons thank you
Not working, copied the github code and still not working. Edit: I tried again, both, AP and STA, and still not working on the app but working on the browser.
How to download voice recognition package in offline mode? I use the code as AP but not working on voice mode. If used the code STA, its work because connect to the internet.
hello sir, is it possible to connect this car with internet by IP address , if i place wifi hotspot with car ( i want to drive it from long distance) and please add speed control feature ( speed increase or decrease by slider )
Superb, thanks bro for open sourcing the project, greatly helped me in rectifying error out of my project. All the best👍.
It's the best app for wifi module...thnx it helped me a lot for my project. :)
Works great and nice clean interface.
Very good app. Quick response on issues. Thank you.
Very good app PLEASE ADD SPEED CONTROLLER FEATURE IN THE APPLICATION.
Hope buttons that it can become bigger.
Really wall done! Thanks for the esp code too😁
Awesome app, thanks for sharing the android studio code, i wishh i can give you 10 Star
Hi Vincent, Could you please share the complete code for this. Thanks
Fun app, work nicely with newer android... can you tell me how can i use this app in android version 4.2.2?
Does it work for raspberry pi wifi rc control car ....?????
How can I download the language pack for offline mode
Best
Love it!! This is the Best app among all other wifi controller app... New:: Please add two extra button for HORN and REARLIGHT.. Thank You
Nice application. Please allow for more commands e.g. Lights on within speech recognition.
I want to change the commands to regional language. Please suggest changes.
Very nice and working I had an old RC car and a WeMos D1 mini and had to do some changes to the code, just 4 words! As I had one motor for steering and one for acceleration (I just had to change the HIGH and LOW settings of the pins). Otherwise this code will work for SMARS and other robots who have two motors for acceleration. Very good work.
