That's pretty neat.... i have one question... is the digi q car have digital proportional steering and throttle?

[slotsurfer]

With the conversion you would only have proportional throttle on the BIT charG.The Digi Q uses tank type sterring it has to motors one for each rear wheel.

yes
the digi q car process the amount of throttle and steering and then control the speed of each motor to make it accelerate/turn

Hi,

This is Harry who made this BC"Q" board for BitChar-G.

Basically, it is a DIY product for whom like to build up a different BitChar-"Q", which have following benefits:

1. NO Antenna
2. Speed control by the Digi-Q's R/C ( propotional speed)
3. Longer running time ( due to PWM speed control)
4. Additional flash light ckt on board (police car, safety car in F1)
5. F.W. L/R turn, more reallistic than Digi-Q

It is really whole new feeling about TinyRC car!

Oh! by the way,

If you do not have Digi-Q's R/C, but own a Palm PDA device, there is a freeware can simulate Digi-Q's RC on Palm.
