Reaction Wheel Pendulum - Testing Swing-Up using Arduino and Simulink 1of4

Hardware (Crude but simple)
1. 1 Hand Held Battery fan
2. Small Rod with rubber weights at the end as Rotor inertia
3. Neomydium magnets to increase/decrease rotor inertia and pendulum counter weight
4. A nut and bolt such that the natural period of osscilation could be tuned as desired.
5. A shaft for the pendulum - in this case a welding rod!
6. Arduino Duemilanove or similar
7. H-bridge (L293D)

Olá Blogger45. Como conectou o arduino ao simulink ? Pssuo um arduino 2560 e e não consigo utiliza-lo como alvo do simulink. Poderia me fornecer o código de conexão? grato

Nice job... are u using the same Arduino target from mathwork website??
