ElektorWheelie

The electronics behind a rather special kind of vehicle

Published in issue 391, July/August 2009

ElektorWheelie

In this first article describing our DIY self-balancing single-axle vehicle we look at the electronics modules. An ATmega32 processes the controls and sensor data and drives the two electric motors via power driver stages. It keeps the vehicle balanced and can drive it in any desired direction at any desired speed from stationary to about 11 mph.
