- Hey guys! In this video I give a detailed overview of how I controlled the steering to my remote control go kart. I basically used a linear actuator for the drive motor, and a small servo potentiometer for the position sensing. An Arduino was used to control its PID loop, and could read the potentiometer value, as well as output to the motor driver. Thanks for watching!
Parts:
- IBT-2 43A DC Double Stepper Motor Driver (can be used for non stepper motors as well)
- DasMarine 2" Stroke Linear Actuator with Mounting Bracket 225 lbs.
- Arduino Nano
- Servo potentiometer

You finally uploaded. Thank you.
haha you're welcome, i've been a bit busy and also conflicted over whether to upload things that will get views or things that I like
Awesome steering mechanism! At first I thought it was a tiny servo pulling those wheels back and forth. Keep it up!
Bro I want more information on this topic plzzz
@@Praveentricks what do you want to know?
hah yeah it does kinda look like that
Hello, just found you! Loved your videos........
Damn that's a nice Go-Cart and hehe 2nd comment..
Thank you! i appreciate the support
I hoep your doing good and life is treating you good!
this is very cool man , you could also attach a lawnmower body to the bottom and you have rc lawnmower multi use
ohhh that would be so cool haha good idea
wouldn't you need to add a second servo to disconnect the steering wheel form the linear actuator so its truly drive by wire instead of fighting thew torque of the actuator to manually turn?
Nice work!!
You would like to see my homemade 1/5 49cc RC buggy!
dude that is so cool! the diy transmission is sick
@@22Tech thanks man!
Hi I am still here lol its me Nikhil from mathnesium
Nice
amazing
wait see you Part 2
Damn, nice.
First hehe
Thank you kind sir
What's the use of the servo if you're using an actuator? To handle more torque or what?
the servo looking thing only has a potentiometer in it, so it can't actually move anything, just used for angle sensing.
@@22Tech so from what I understand - you can turn the wheel on the controller to say where you want the wheels to turn to, and the “servo” will stop the actuator when it gets to that spot
@@22Tech do you have to have that to get The actuator to return to center?
@@Drew-fu8fc yeah that's right, the controller steering basically gives it a target and it should stop once it approaches the target angle. I'm not really sure I understand your second question though? The actuator will center itself when the controller is centered. The position that decides the center is somewhat arbitrary though and just needs to be calibrated everytime.
@@22Tech I think you got it. I am just wondering if you need the servo to help the actuator know where center is, and return, or if that is just a feature of the actuator itself. Thanks!
I'm a newbie to RC and Linear actuators in general. Could someone please point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to "set" the center point of the linear actuator? I was going to use a FIRGELLI AUTOMATIONS FA-PO-35-12-4'' (5:1) 12VDC STROKE ACTUATOR with a built-in potentiometer. But before I mount it I wanted to understand how to set the "center point". Do I need to measure the midpoint between the 2 limits before physically mounting the actuator or is it programmable somewhere? I will be using an Actuonix Linear Actuator Control Board with my RC controller.
Yeah, it should be possible. Count the steps from the potentiometer (I hope you mean encoder) when going from fully retracted to fully extended, and take half.
Remember then the computer needs to remember last position when starting up, or you must do an init by going fully to one side on startup.
Hello! Would love to avail your service, making a remote controled cart. How can i contact you?
Awesome go cart you built. Are you up for a brand collaboration by the way? Hipa makes parts for small engines such as carburetors, air filters and we'd like to help people who's chasing their dreams
Hi sorry for the late reply, yeah I would be interested if that's still something that can happen, is there a good way to get in contact? thanks for the comment!
Can you still steer the steering wheel like driving normally with no remote
commenting from another channel, but no unfortunately, I have to physically disconnect the steering linear actuator to be able to steer manually
Hey how heavy is your go-kart?
wheres part 2????????
i've had a half built rc kart for the past 2 years
You are a genius!! But come on bro, nobody's going to know how to do all that.wiring shit with those servos and all the other foreign things you were saying and everything else. Is there anywhere we can just buy this stuff and mount it on a go kart or whatever instead of making it from scratch? Thanks
2:20 this isnt tutor or have you beeshowing how and what you are doing so what the heck are you speakingon here?? It really dont and wont matter to us. If you were just documenting what youre doing, then you've missed a lot of info to feed us. instead you tell us about some issue you ran into that we didnt even knew happen until you said so....
i dont even know why i was still watching. i can care less that youve done what others have lol n no offense but yeah thats calkl dtime wasting. . . .
