TL. DR.
Rear motor "Forward" goes to Output 1. Read Motor "Backward" goes to Output 2.
Rear motor
The rear motor is at the back of the car. It has two cables. One of the cables is called forward because it would make the motor rotate and move the car forward. The other is backward. It will move the car backwards. The cables should already be marked in the previous steps of the course. Check the marks.
In the picture you see three things highlighted. From left to right these are - the cables connected to the PCB Terminals, the cables extended with Heat Shrink Tubing and the cables at the end connected to the rear motor. The green cable is "forward" in our case and the blue is "backwards"
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
Perfect STEM course. Module 1 - Smart Car with Raspberry PI
Disassemble a remote control car. Change the brain of the car with a smart computer like Raspberry Pi. Build a smart device with artificial intelligence that you could control from your phone and that could freely navigate itself in the real world and on the Internet. Use your hands. Develop programs for your robot and your phone. Be curious and invent.
The perfect course lives up to its name. You move through the content, we check it and return feedback to you.
In the end, you should be able to better understand how to program and design smart devices that would make the world a better place. For everybody age 12+, 16+, 21+, 35+, etc. The hardware costs about 150$. It changes through the years so it might take some time for you to find it as Raspberry PI, motor drivers, power banks and h-bridges.. they change. Note that the course was designed to be led by a teacher with a decent knowledge in embedded hardware and software. This, on the other hand should not stop you, if you are curious.
