Build a DIY IR Remote Controlled Arduino Lego Car Build a DIY IR Remote Controlled Arduino Lego Car Who has never dreamed of an Auto RC or better yet build one? With an old Lego set found in my junk, I've been trying, in recent days, to create a small RC car controlled by a IR remote control. The result will not be the the best performance because the remote control is not a good solution for long distances, as reception can be disturbed may not respond properly to commands. What do we need? Ingredients: Arduino Nano o UNO x1 Stepper motor x1 Servo Motor  x1 IR receiver module + Remote A lego Set with at least 3 wheels Assembling Let's connect all the modules to the Arduino in the following way:  Servo Vcc  ---  Arduino 5V  Servo GND ---  Arduino GND  Servo Data  ---  Arduino D5 Stepper Driver Vcc  ---  Arduino 5V   Stepper Driver GND --- Arduino GND  Steppe...
