In this video, I am demonstrating the control system running. I then had Jake open the garage door to demonstrate how any sunlight messes with the IR sensor.

Explanation

Demo

PI Control

PID-PI Control

The number on the right in the serial monitor is the error of the system. An error of 0 means the go-kart is moving at 5 mph.

Gas, brake, and steering

This contains the linear actuators for the brake, gas pedal, and steering.

Brake pedal & microswitch

This image is the brake pedal linear actuator and microswitch. The background shows the mount for the IR sensor and its distance reader.

Control at 5mph

Linear Actuator

The linear actuator us running off a code that moves it fully 1 direction then fully in the other.

Fully built go kart

This image is the go kart fully built with all electrical and mechanical components in place.

Microswitch

This image is the microswitch for the brake pedal. It is needed to limit the distance the brake pedal can move.
