Okay, so we've got to turn on everyone, I think you'll be here today to share a story
behind the crucial for test RC car from the insha'l ID to the challenge we faced along
the way.
It'll be about me, I'm a full-site developer, Simon Misretor, but we don't care.
What we bring me here is my passion for building things.
So about the OVCS project, so with my two-site marketing team, we spend six-year building
up and banking regulator in Elexia and wanted to push up the boundaries and try Elexia
in the automotive world.
So in 2024, we created the Open Vehicle Control System, which is an Elexia base developed
on kits for vehicle enhancement.
So with OVCS, we want to allow vehicle modernization, like including electric vehicle
conversion, infotainment, enhancements, or advanced feature, like a remote control, or
autonomous driving.
So the OVCS project started with a VWP of 2007, but testing features, like a remote
control, or autonomous driving with a one-ton vehicle on the public road, or a two-wisky.
So we decided to scale a bit down and build an RC car with the similar components that
provide a much safer way for testing.
Those are the steps toward the build for a rocket RC car.
So we went for a truck-sac slash 4x4, truck-sac is a well-known brand, so if you can find parts
to repair it, or a tuning it if you want to, plus this one can reach the 100-wisky
meter per hour.
Then we had to design some cab-file for 3D printing, we want to all those components
to fit perfectly, we want to swap them easily and replace them if needed.
We also had to manufacture some PCBs, like Arduino Raspberry Pi Hats, we also built
the modules to fit the parts in the small area, and then the assembly wiring, because
there are a lot of wiring and integrate everything inside the video records body.
So those are the components actually present in this RC car.
We have a whole snail AGFPV with one camera and expressed a red thread receiver, those two
come from the drone words for those who know.
We have an AMU, we have two more cameras for a few specific vision, and then we have
all the components for a OVCS, we have the core, which is called vehicle management system,
then we have bridges that make the link between OVCS and ROS 2, for example, then the link
between Muffling and OVCS, Muffling is protocol we use to communicate with the radio receiver,
and then the MSPUSD also to display useful things inside the FPV system.
All those components are running on a separate Raspberry Pi, using electric and nerves.
We also have an Arduino with a aspeculate generic controller, which is making the link between
OVCS and component at a lower level, like generating PDWM for steering or the throttle
of the tracksets.
We also built some custom 5 volt PSU to convert the battery to 5 volt for the components,
multiple can if the controller on a SPI, because all those components communicate as the
full-scale car using canvas, and we also have switch and Wi-Fi OS butts.
There is no more space as you can see, you have the switch on the front, you have the
3 cameras, also the FPV system, a hat to Raspberry Pi, and it's again to Raspberry Pi on the
other side and Arduino, but nice, so that's cool.
So, what we learned along the way, we wanted to make a composable architecture, because in
OVCS you have the V, a Vsten for vehicle, so I wanted to find a way for the user to
customize their vehicle to fit their needs at best.
Neutronization challenge, yes, because using the same component in a full-scale car into
a 110 earthy car was a bit complicated, so it was difficult to put all the parts together.
I wanted to keep it clean, because all the goal is to make something simple and accessible
to that you can try it at home here if you want to.
Next step, we'll finalize the autonomous parts with Rust2, just set that high speed, and
much more, because there is so much change that we can do with the past form that there's no
real limits.
So, thank you for listening, everything will be available on the VCS.be, if you want more detail,
we have a talk at 4pm today, also, and please switch me, if you want to try at home,
if you want to think about it with us, there is my email, thank you.
