My first attempt at designing a PID controller. It's a basic level with a motor and a propeller on one end to act as a balanced beam. Using an Arduino board, measurements of tilt were taken with a mesmic accelerometer. The arduino board was then programmed as a PID controller dampening any disturbance to the lever.

  • The derivative needs turning up a little as your still getting plenty of overshoot.

  • Thanks for the comment bro. I fixed some of the issues before I took it apart. In this case, the integral is what did me in. Also, I had issues with the accelerometer being used as a tilt sensor. So, my next endevour is now a Kalman filtered attitude indicator using both an accelerometer and a rate gyro. I'm not too far from finished and now i'm using a digital accelerometer in place of the Memsic 2125.

  • It will be good to see the new improved version once youve finished it.

  • @Shocker9 I have the attitude indicator partially done. Check out my page and you can see the video of the first prototype. The video is named "Attitude estimation w/ Kalman filter."

  • very neat

  • Thanks

  • a little info and ditch the stupid music would be good.

  • good job

    

  • Now u can design a robot to clean ur room lol. ROBOJeeves 2.0.

  • Nice man. Simple and nice for those who understand what's going on. UAVs and figher jets next???
