This is the first part of the project which focuses on controlling the motors on a rover over the internet via MQTT.

If you want to dive right away into the code, you can check it out here:

• Rover Hardware (branch -> rovy-part-1)
• Mobile App (branch -> rovy-part-1)

I will be pushing updates to the repositories as I add more things (i.e. video stream) into the rover as I progress in the future, so the main branch might look different by the time you are reading this. As for this article, please refer to the specified branch.

I have a full write-up of this in my blog. You can check it out here here.
