Sneak Peak: Segway guide + code

December 5th, 2011 12 comments

Here is a short sneak peak of a project we are working on.
When the project is finished we are going to write a guide about it, publish the code and of course make a longer video explaining the different parts and showing the Segway in action!

I can briefly say that we are using 2x 12V motors + Motorcontroller from Pololu, a 6DOF board from Sparkfun, a FEZ Rhino and a 12V battery pack.

The data from the 6DOF board is run thru a Kalman filter, whose data is used in a PID filter to regulate the motors. More details and source code will come soon!

The code can be found below:
BalancingRobot.zip

Update
More information about the finished robot can be found here: http://blog.tkjelectronics.dk/2012/03/the-balancing-robot/
