Robots - Two wheeler - Introduction
 
 
Originally inspired by David.P.Anderson's nBot and the university of Massachusetts inverted pendulum robot uBot here's my shot at a two wheel balancing robot.
 
I realised, from the beginning, that this wasn't going to be an easy project so I decided to divide the task in steps.
 
   Mechanical platform & motors
   Motordrivers
   PIC-based controllerboard
   Inertial measurements unit
   Code, code, code
   Sensors
   More code
 
 
 
 
Since I already had a suitable platform to use as testbed I decided to use that to begin with.
The problem was that I didn't have any wheels for it. So back to the drawingboard.
 
  Making the wheels.
  Pole balancing
  Get rid of those support "wheels"
  Rebuliding the base.
  Motorcontroller
  Cheating a bit (using SHARP sensors)
