This reference application demonstrates an Autonomous Smart RC Car built on the PIC32CZ CA90 Curiosity Ultra Development Board using MPLAB® Harmony v3. The system integrates LiDAR, IMU, camera, RC control, and motor drivers to enable real-time sensing, control, and obstacle avoidance. The RC car supports both manual operation via an RC transmitter and autonomous navigation driven by sensor data. All sensor and telemetry data are streamed wirelessly to a PC over Wi-Fi using TCP communication for real-time visualization and monitoring. This demo highlights the PIC32CZ CA90 as a scalable and powerful controller for sensor-rich autonomous robotics platforms.
