BBot 2.0 - Dual-Axis Self-Balancing Inverted Pendulum with Bluetooth & High-Current Motor Drivers
Features
- Integrates dual axis IMU for measurement of tilt in X and Y
- Will eventually balance on a ball
- Bluetooth wireless modem for remote debug, control and sensory measurement
- Twin 30A DC motor drivers provide flexible motor control for small or large chassis
- 3.3V, 1.5A, 95% efficient switching power supply
- Socket for generic daughterboard - Cyclone ii, ARM7, ATMega128.
The main objectives were:
- integrate the motor driver & controller
- aim for small size
- easy to manufacture (eg components on one side)
- optional daughterboard for standard university atmega/arm7/cyclone boards - takes over control
- onboard micros measure inertial sensors and calculate tilt
- able to take over motor control if daughterboard locks up/student enters dodgy control parameters
- aim for expandability - external port connectors and I2C bus header in case larger motor driver is needed, etc.
