Nordic Semiconductor is offering a reference design for remote-controlled racing cars.

The nRFready R/C Racing reference design includes a pair of cars and controllers, four waypoints, a USB dongle, the nRFready Racing Studio PC application, as well as all required source code and hardware design files.

The cars, controllers and waypoints are all based on Nordic’s single chip nRF24LE1 2.4GHz RF system-on-chip device.

The reference design features continuous steering and throttle control, crash sensors, plus blinker lights and headlights that can be switched on and off from the controller.

In addition, the controllers include LEDs for car battery status and force (vibration) feedback to indicate crashes.
