I got my ACEBOTT ESP32 Smart Car Starter Kit with Mecanum Wheel all wired and so the next challenge was to get it to move. Luckily, the kit comes with an Infra Red Remote control. I therefore wrote this code:

To show me what all the buttons on the controller mapped to on the ESP32.

With that complete, I now wrote this code:

https://github.com/directorcia/Azure/blob/master/Iot/Acebott/Smartcar/irmovecontrol.cpp

to get the Smart Car to move by using the IR control. I documented the code here:

The next step will be to run a small web server on the ESP32 and connect to that via local WIFI to move the car.
