....Not sure what's in the box, but with the batteries at the top it's got a rather high CofG to look after. Very cool project though. Watch out SegWay

the Box is empty ,only a frame to put the akku on the top.
the servos are much to slow so we bought some Stepper motors for Egon.

You clearly have wayyyy toooo much time on your hands

Looks fun though! So is it MicroMite controlled now?

Keep up the 'research' . . . .

That radio controlled (feathered) bird looks so life-like! Great work!

(Still got way too much time on your hands then

Do you have an 'end product' that you are aiming to achieve? Or is it just for fun?

Hi Plasma,

your project is very impressive! I dream to do the same...
I am very astonished that a PID timeconstant of 20 ms is enough.
Can you tell me more about your PID algorithm and the nesting of your two control loops?
Did you think a Maximite is fast enough to do the same?

Thanks!

Frank

Hi ,

Source code and schematics will be free
after we convertet this to "MMbasic" Devices.
I think the Maximite will do this with some
Firmware Addon Functions.
And i fear the Micromite will be to slow ,
Also with the new Plugin from Geoff.
Maybe 2 micromites will solve the delay from
Sensor reading and pwm Servos.
The Goal is buildt a bigger one which stand
Up alone and find the charging station if the
Akku power going down.
Maybe the build a kit for , i dunno.
All for fun
