Hi!

A friend and I are making a segway for engineering school project.

I was wondering wether you know if you could send us the source code :).

Also, if you've got some information on what processor and gyro you've used and where you got them from; I would appreciate it a lot.

Hello simonaglen,

I'm working on a how to tutorial of this device. It will be a video that I'll post on you tube, very soon I hope.

When are you looking to complete your project?

dude..  you need to upgrade those handi wheels. bigger = faster!

[schelenzo]

It's been hard to find tires that will fit the bolt pattern on the wheels... if someone can point me in the right direction I'd love get some... The bolt pattern is 4 bolts at 3.5 inches diagonal

@WHChen96 thats not the point stupid... its called engineering .. they are trying to make something for the acomplishment not so they dont have to walk

@schelenzo Looks lke you got those motors and wheels from a Sunrise Medical quickie P222se. You will need to stick with the same brand so look for S646 wheels. Inorder to make them work you will need to change out the hubs. You dont really have tomany options but what I told you is the best solutions. The chairs are somewhat out of date so you should be able to get a good deal on them not. try looking on ebay or call up a local rehab equipment deal because they might have some laying around.
