The hardware fellowship syllabus includes two core projects for building remote controlled vehicles. Project 1 involves building a basic remote controlled car using simple electronic components, encoders, decoders and wireless communication via amplitude shift keying. Project 2 adds a microcontroller to the design to allow for remote control via a joystick module and wireless communication using an NRF24L01+ module. The syllabus also includes three optional extra projects for building an autonomous line following robot, a self-balancing stick using a manually tuned PID controller, and an introduction to using reinforcement learning for self-balancing.
