This is my BalanceBot - similar to the SEGWAY personal transporter. It balances by focusing on a static point of light.

  • i like how you used a simple 555 chip for the PWM. I am interested to obtain your schematic for this. Do you think you could use the same circuit accept with IR sensors pointed at the ground?

  • Let me look around and see if I can find my schematic. It's nothing more than a simple 555 timer circuit with two CdS photoresistors in series in place of a potentiometer. You'll have to send me a message, so that I'll know where to send the schematic once I find it.
