LightningAC:
Regarding this, I will say I am building a BB8 robot which would eventually need to be self-balancing and I found many successful examples of self-balancing robots using stepper motors.
Hi,
I think you will find BB8 is self balancing, but does not need any software to do it.
It uses the fact that most of its frame mass, and so its center of gravity, is below the center of its sphere volume.
Its motors support the frame inside the sphere.
It moves by trying to drive the frame up the inside of the sphere, by driving two motors positioned 90deg to each other.
So no self balancing software is needed.
Even with power turned OFF he cannot fall over, he is a sphere, his "head" will always be upper most, due to magnetic attraction between his "head" and a pole above the frame inside its body being near the sphere upper surface.
A beautiful concept, beautifully executed.
Can you please post a copy of your circuit, in CAD or a picture of a hand drawn circuit in jpg, png?
