F1 Car Project

A modular, real-time, and low-level Rust-based RC F1 car project, powered by a Raspberry Pi 4B and an STM32 microcontroller.

This project is structured to separate concerns between real-time control, networking, and frontend interaction. It uses a modern Rust toolchain, an RTOS for embedded control, and a Tauri app for user interaction.

🔧 Responsibilities

📻 radio/ (Raspberry Pi 4B)

• Wi-Fi connectivity
• UDP interface to control the car
• Video stream relay from Pi Camera
• Relays control inputs to STM32 over UART
• Receives telemetry from STM32

⚙️ powertrain/ (STM32 MCU)

• Runs Embassy RTOS
• Handles motor control via L298N driver
• Reads IMU data for orientation sensing
• Sends telemetry back to the Pi over UART

📱 cockpit/ (Tauri App)

• Tauri-powered mobile and desktop UI
• Receives live telemetry data
• Displays camera feed
• Sends control inputs (steering, throttle) to the car
