A project log for Remote Control Power Wheels

Taking a toy Power Wheels and making it remote control. Making improvements as time, money, and availability of parts allows.

Even though I am without any type of receiver I figured I'd try to make the control board smaller. I bought mosfets with the intent of making two h-bridges. This would decrease power consumption and make everything smaller and easier to hide. Stupid me bought the wrong mosfets. I bought 8 N enhancement mosfets with too high of a switching voltage. So between the fact that half should have been P and the fact that they are too high of a switching voltage, I screwed up. I should have stuck to the plan of the wireless router and stuff, so next revision will be that.
