For Perry Hoberman's Experiments In Interactivity 2, I present how to make an arduino controlled RC Mustang.
Step One: Break open the controller:
You'll find 4 switches for the control directions. We need to override these switches with the arduino.
We take these and make 8 solder joints to our wires over the back of the existing switch solders on the original board.
Then its simply a matter of correctly wiring and programming the arduino to override the switches to send commands to the RC car. (PART 2 Will have instructions, code and a demo video of the ROBOCAR.)
