Do you have more info on what type of golf cart you are using and how you are communicating with the golf cart?

Hi @apache8080

I apologize for the late reply. The vehicle is a 1990s electric Yamaha golf cart.

I built a drive by wire system for the vehicle.

  1. Added linear actuators to control the steering and braking. Added a digital potentiometer for accelerator control
  2. Connected all of these actuators to three Arduinos (or any microcontroller)
  3. Connected all three microcontrollers to a desktop using serial.
  4. Programmed ROS nodes that send and receive data from these microcontrollers.

You can also learn more about the hardware design of this project on my website: www.neilnie.com

Thank you for your patience!
