Hey everybody,
So I am a senior at Purdue studying Electrical Engineering Technology. For my senior design project, I am controlling an RC car with a gaming steering wheel and gas pedals instead of the regular handheld controller. I am also incorporating a horn button on the steering wheel so that when the user presses the horn button, the RC car will honk.
Do you guys have any suggestions on what kind of circuit I should build for the horn circuitry? What I thought would be cool is if the horn was kind of like an ambulance. So, it sweeped through a range of frequencies instead of outputting just one sinusoidal frequency. I thought I remember doing this with the XR2206 IC chip before, but I got pretty confused when reading the datasheet. Does anybody know if this is possible?
And another thing, I am planning on using a micro to control whether the horn is on or not, so do you guys know how I would incorporate the micro to enable/disable the horn?
Thanks,
Joey
