Proof of Concept

Our drive-by-wire concept is coming to reality! Today we demonstrated a working computer controlled steering setup by wiring a Phidget (a mini computer designed solely for input and ouput relay) to a USB steering wheel. The Phidget took the inputs from the wheel and throttle and relayed them to the computer, which sent them to a RC controller, successfully steering a remote controlled car through a computer.
