Self-Balancing 2 Wheeled Robot
Since build/official competitions are over I've been working on making my own robot. Currently, the frame is done (I'll try to post pictures later, for a CAD model see bottom of the post) and I'm looking at what electronic parts I should buy. Here's my current list:
Microcontroller $85.95 6 AA Battery Holder $0.75 Solarbotics GM8 Gearmotor (2x) $12.00 Solarbotics Plastic Wheel (2x) $8.00 Shipping: $4.95 12" PWM Cables (2x) $18.94 What I need is a gyroscope, although of all the researching I've done of balancing robots people have used both gyroscopes and accelerometers. Will just a gyroscope be sufficient? Does anyone know a good/cheap gyroscope/accelerometer that I would need? Thanks in advance. CAD Model: *Note: Those aren't the motors I'm using, and it's wood... not metal.* ![]() EDIT: Whoops, this was supposed to go in Technical Discussion, any mod feel free to move it. ![]() Last edited by Mike : 01-05-2005 at 22:01. |
