 # Lidar-controlled-autonomous-vehicle
 2D-Lidar-controlled autonomous vehicle with ESP32 and Bluetooth
+
+Arduino ESP32 sketch for an autonomous vehicle that finds it way around a room without bumping into objects.
+
+The lidar is the X4 from Ydlidar.
+
+Uses the [Dabble](https://github.com/STEMpedia/Dabble) Bluetooth library for Bluetooth (duh).
+
+Also uses the very nice ESP32 motor driver library [ESP32MotorControl](https://github.com/JoaoLopesF/ESP32MotorControl) that does not use ledc like everybody else but instead uses the real motor driver peripheral built into the ESP32.
+
+The vehicle is a simple design with two motorized wheels in the center and two stand-offs on either end for remaining balanced. This arrangement makes the vehicle very agile.
+
+The motors are controlled by an ESP32 Pico Kit, which in turn is controlled over Bluetooth by a smartphone. The lidar data is processed by the ESP32 and used to steer the vehicle in the direction of the greatest distance, i.e. the object that is furthest away.
