Experience — or at least education — often makes a big difference to having a successful project. For example, if you didn’t think about it much, you might think it is simple to control the ...

Designed and built a self-balancing two-wheeled Segway-style robot using stepper motors, an IMU, and a microcontroller running a real-time PID controller. The system uses sensor fusion between ...

Arduino enthusiasts looking for a new project this weekend may be interested in this awesome DIY balancing robot, which has been created using parts that cost roughly $80. Components include two ...

A comprehensive PID-based control system for balancing a car on a beam using Arduino, ultrasonic sensors, and servo motor actuation. This project demonstrates classical control theory principles ...

A few weeks ago, I installed an automatic water heater switch to my bathroom, but it was a crude device. What I really want to do is design a universal heater driver. That basic idea can be adapted to ...

Radio control cars have always been fun, it’s true. With that said, it’s hard to deny that true speed was unlocked when lithium polymer batteries and brushless motors came to the fore. [Gear Down For ...

Abstract: Two wheeled self-balancing robots can achieve better mobility and rotation in confined spaces and narrow gaps compared to multi-wheeled robots while maintaining balance. The paper aims ...

Arduino enthusiasts interested in building their very own Arduino powered Segway, may be interested in the new article published to the official Arduino blog detailing a project created by a father ...

Abstract: PID control is widely used in fields of power electronics and electric drives because of its simple algorithm, robustness and high reliability. Due to nonlinearity and time variant of ...
