Two Wheel Balancing Robot - Boe Bot

Finally got my Boe Bot to be stable when balancing on two wheel. Yes that is a regular BS2 microcontroller. Not that the table is a soft leather table, thus providing the required damping force to allow this to stand. If this were on a hard surface it wouldn't stand up, BS2 isn't fast enough.

Come on guys , its clear that he used the UltraSonic module you can see it at the right side . basically the balancing depends on the range fluctuation between the constant he set for the corrrect position. But i dont advice doing the same , i would advice using an accelerometer for such an application .

Nope didn't use one, but would probably help.

[j3ss31214]

did you need an accelorometer

Really?? That is your comment? Seriously?

(Just in case you are serious, it would fall over.)

Please post a video of your balancing robot that doesn't depend on batteries or any other power source and can balance forever. (Hell i challenge you to balance forever without food, aka your energy source.)

what happends when the batteris die lmao

cool. does it move?

[reded20]

mind posting the code?

[mathewkorbin]

when i got a boebot in engineering class at purdue, i saw this and wanted to see if i could do it. easier said than done. not only does it take some 'smooth' programming, but balance as well

Fantastic ! Congratulations , after all you moved the batt up , and it all works
