Typical Control Demonstration

To meet different needs, we implemented several ways to control the Balanbot. We believe the applications of Balanbot are unlimited and up to its users and their favorite devices and platforms. 

Hardware Design

The Balanbot includes everything you need to make your own self-balancing robot: two high torque and high speed gear motors, wheels, acrylic structures, 18650 battery holder (batteries are not included), Balance Shield, and Arduino UNO-compatible board.The Balanbot uses one 5mm and two 3mm thick acrylic boards and other accessories for its main structure. The 5mm board is used to fix the two motors. One of the 3mm boards is used to fix the battery and the other is for an Arduino-compatible board plus the Balance Shield.The Balanbot is super easy to assemble and play! There are no complicated connections and it is fast to put together. It is suitable for kids and experienced makers as well. Thanks to the powerful Balance shield, it is much easier now to create a balancing robot than it was before.The Balance Shield uses an MPU6050 which is the world’s first integrated 6-axis motion-tracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer. It connects to the Arduino UNO compatible board through the I2C interface. With this sensor, you can get stable angle when the Kalman filter is used.The Balance Shield also integrated one L298P for driving motors. The L298P is a high voltage (50V), high current (2A) dual channel full-bridge driver. It can drive inductive loads such as relay, DC, and stepping motors.There are also led indicators, a power switch and a buzzer on the Balance Shield. You can even write your own code to make it play a melody.A universal serial interface is left for connecting adapters like serial Bluetooth and serial Wi-Fi for communicating with other devices. Four IO pins are left for connecting other sensors or RC receiver for making it more extensible.
