Title Document: 24 Hours coding 2017 ''ST Amazing Race Car''
The annual event took place on 21 and 22 January at the CCI of Le Mans in Sarthe , France. ST Le Mans proposed this year the simulation of a car race.
Ghislain Ballester, Michel Wojdaszka, Erwan Yvin and Philippe Noël have designed 10 'intelligent car' models that can react, be remotely controlled and become autonomous, using a microcontroller of the automotive family ADG SPC5 Studio.(SPC56D)
3 steps for competitors: garage mode, sensor mode (semi-auto) and automatic control.
• Create a remote control, a dashboard either via Android (via bluetooth link) or by serial link on PC which can control the organs of the car in real time (leds and motors)
• Interact with external events (night, rain, emergency ...) in semi-automatic mode with sensors (simulated by pushbuttons)• Communicate the position of the car via a GPS link on a virtual map and create an autopilot that follows a given trajectory.After 24 hours of challenge, the team 'The SWAG unicorns' won the prize.a blog project should be available soon on

Hi Erwan,
After a long pause (had kids...), and after this years 24h session, I've decided it was time to restart this project again!
This time from scratch!
I've downloaded the latest SPC5 studio & UDESTK software, and found the right drivers for PLS debugging. I managed to make some LEDs work!

I don't have much time but I'll slowly make this car a virtual racing car again ;)
Next step, check if the motors still work and set a traccar server up! Oh and use ChibiOs... Man, so many things to do.. :)
