On the user side we have a windows GUI to control and visualize the automobile model.

This GUI allows the user (driver) to control the automobile model via mouse and keyboard (difficult) or with a Force Feedback wheel and pedals.

Every user interaction is converted into a command and sent via bluetooth to the automobile model.

All possible events from the automobile model (e.g. current speed) are visualized simliar to displays in real automobiles.

So the GUI together with wheel and pedals acts as an automotive cockpit.

The communication module of our automobile model consits of a 16bit microcontroller that executes

C code to receive and interprete the commands form the windows GUI.

There exists a windows GUI to control the automobile model with a Force Feedback wheel and pedals.
