Introduction: Internet Controlled Car

Internet controlled Destroyer is essential in all civil and military cars.  Military can use this technology to decrease the loose of soldiers by sending machines to fight while they are safe in the control room.

Controlling over internet opens a whole new window for everything not just only cars you can control your home machines, control garage which ease our life

The Arduino UNO will work as a microcontroller

The car should be fully controlled by the internet over 3G, wifi, or any other internet provider.

Step 3: Voltage Regulator

I have used the 7806 which have the attached pic specs.

But I couldn’t use it alone since it can handle up to 1A at the output while I need 3A and I don’t want to use 3 regulators to get to that result therefore  i implemented the following way which allow you to have what you need and even more if you requested

The main idea is that am collecting the Ampere from  the 2N0355 power transistor and the voltage from the regulator which gives the perfect match for my component

Step 4: Motor Controller

There are many ways to control a motor but my problem was that I needed Tristate way which allow me to control the motor on standby mode, forward and backward and with high power therefore I used a handmade circuit done by myself which gave me the privilege to have full control of my motor.
The Motor need
Voltage = 6V
Iload(max) = 1.25A
In general, we use both PNP or NPN transistors as switches. However,
First we need to make sure that the transistor can safely handle the worst current we might draw.  The parameter we are looking for is the maximum collector current, Ic(max).
Next we have to verify that the transistor can safely handle the supply voltage we plan  to use. The parameter we are looking for is the maximum collector emitter voltage, Vceo(max).
Now we need to calculate whether we can provide sufficient base current to keep the transistor in saturation. First we need to find what the base current will be when the transistor is carrying the worst-case current of 1.25 A. Arduino, can deliver (safely) at most 40 mA.
Therefore the TIP120 is used after looking to its specifications.
First, we see that Ic(max) = 5 A, and that Vceo(max) is 60, 80, or 100 V, so we are fine so far.
Next we check the base current.  Ic=250 * Ib or our collector current of 1.25 A requires a base current of  5 mA (5 * 250 = 1250), which is well below the maximum of 40 mA the Arduino can put out.
Finally we need to select a base resistor which will be low enough to ensure that the TIP120 remains saturated, but high enough to prevent the Arduino from trying to deliver more current than it should. We want a current between 5 mA and 40 mA, so let’s pick a midway point of 20 mA.
When the collector current is 1 A, Vbe(sat) is about 1.5 V. Now if the Arduino is putting out 5 V, and Vbe is 1.5 V, that means that the resistor has a voltage drop of (5 – 1.5) or 3.5 V across it. Using Ohm’s law, R = V/I = 3.5/(20 mA)= 175 Ohms
