BalBot: a Self-Balancing Robot

Modern acceleration sensors ease the construction process

Regulations are not only prevalent in technology, but are also commonly found in nature. The construction of self-balancing robots can serve as a preliminary stage of androids, since movement on two parallel wheels requires a control similar to that of the walking upright. In this project, an Arduino Uno and an IC comprising an acceleration sensor and a gyroscope are employed.

Components

The BOM (Bill of Materials) is the technically exhaustive listing of parts and other hardware items used to produce the working and tested prototype of any Elektor Labs project. The BOM file contains deeper information than the Component List published for the same project in Elektor Magazine. If required the BOM gets updated directly by our lab engineers. As a reader, you can download the list here.
