This is the code for the Arduino based RC car with NRF24 conenction. You will need the NRF24 based radio controller as well from the past tutorial. Make sure you install the needed libraries as well. Downlaod the .zip file or copy+paste from below. Read all comments in the code in order to understand more.
/* Test code for the Radio control receiver RC car
* Tutorial: https://www.electronoobs.com/eng_arduino_tut92.php
* Schematic: https://www.electronoobs.com/eng_arduino_tut92_sch1.php
* Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb1u_kne-m4
* Install the NRF24 library to your IDE
* Upload this code to the Arduino NANO
* Connect a NRF24 module to it:
Module // Arduino UNO
GND -> GND
Vcc -> 3.3V
CE -> D9
CSN -> D10
CLK -> D13
MOSI -> D11
MISO -> D12
