The specific feature of an inverted pendulum is that its center of gravity is higher than its rotational or pivoting axis. So it’s a pendulum with its head at the bottom, and all it wants to do is fall over – like the human body. However, the brain works in conjunction with the eyes and ears to send adjusting nerve impulses to the muscles when our torso moves with respect to our ankles (pivoting point). Inverted pendulums are based on this principle.

Gerber file

CAM/CAD data for the PCB referred to in this article is available as a Gerber file. Elektor GREEN and GOLD members can exclusively download these files for free as part of their membership. Gerber files allow a PCB to be produced on an appropriate device available locally, or through an online PCB manufacturing service.

Elektor recommends the Elektor PCB Service service from its business partner Eurocircuits or AISLER as the best services for its own prototypes and volume production.

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.
