Re: Is this hardware capable of balance?
I'm thinking I will try all the equipment I have, but add to it an Analog Devices ADXRS300 gyro to the setup because I have learned such a gyro is what these balancing robot platforms need in order to function properly. And then I will keep the accelerometer to correct for gyro drift. Once I get the gyro, hopefully a couple of you can help sort out some programming, and we'll see what we've got from there.
