   I built a system to drive my RC car from anywhere in the world▲6

   Wanted to share a project I've been working on. Basically lets you drive an RC car remotely over the internet with live FPV video. I'm arranging outdoor time attack tournaments with friends, somewhere in woods or in the open field. The setup: - Raspberry Pi Zero 2W mounted on the car with a wide-angle camera - ESP32 on the transmitter generating joystick voltages (needed because ARRMA's 2-in-1 ESC/receiver has no accessible inputs) - Cloudflare for the networking magic (TURN, Tunnel, Workers) - Browser-based controls - works on phone or desktop What it does: - ~100-200ms control latency…

    We made a tool that lets you research electronic components faster▲8

    Hi HN, I’ve spent the last decade building hardware products like humanoid robots, 3D printers, and self-driving tractors. I needed a tool to navigate technical documents faster, so I created one with friends. This tool helps with component search, cross-referencing, comparison, and debugging. We’d love your feedback, whether you find it useful or not. Thank you! Try it here: www.convergelab.ai
