PS5 Controlled Smart Car

ESP32-based smart car controlled via a PS5 DualSense controller.

What makes this build different

• Non-blocking firmware: no delay() anywhere; all timing uses millis().
• Layered architecture: input → decision → execution → hardware outputs.
• Deterministic buzzer system: single-writer + priority-based state machine.

Features

• Differential drive mixing (throttle + steering)
• Deadzone filtering for stick/triggers
• RGB feedback (non-blocking blink patterns)
• Buzzer feedback:
• Connect/disconnect patterns
• Boost “angry dog” buzz
• Reverse warning buzz
• Horn

Quick Start

• Controller connects via ps5Controller library
• Motor outputs are driven using ESP32 LEDC PWM channels
• Feedback subsystems are updated every loop (no blocking)
