Hack-a-Toy

For this lab we had to buy or find a toy that has a motor and PCB board to 'hack'. I found a yellow Camaro that had lights and sounds with buttons that made the wheels move. To hack this toy I wanted to make the wheels move with the use of an IR sensor. To do this I removed the wires that were connected to the circuit board for the motor and the battery. Then I hooked these wires into the IR circuit that I prepared with my Arduino board and breadboard.
