Learn to build a robot car using slotted "optical speed sensors" and Arduino Interrupts. The course covers assembling a 2WD robot car chassis kit, coupling encoder wheels with optical sensors, measuring speed and distance traveled, and using Arduino Uno with an L298N H-Bridge motor driver. The teaching method includes practical demonstrations, explanations, and Arduino sketches. This course is intended for robotics enthusiasts, Arduino programmers, and those interested in building autonomous vehicles.
