Abstract
The present sources of energy (Petroleum, Natural gas, and coal) are limited and facing depletion. Solar energy is one of the most abundant resources available in Pakistan. Our project was to design and implement an instrumentation module for a remote controlled car powered by solar energy. The instrumentation module consists of two main parts, a solar car and a remote control. The remote control controls the left, right, forward, and reverse functions of the solar car. The solar car receives commands from the remote control and functions accordingly. The voltageof the solar car is also measured and displayed on the LCD attached with solar car. Solar car was remotely controlled. Other than that, we learnt the complexities of working with hardware, software, and the issues involving PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design and fabrication, Vero-Board design and testing. All the relative pictures, videos, datasheets, documents, simulations, codes, designs, software, presentations, and helping material is included in our FYP CD. Please consult it for further information on our project.
