First up is my Senior Project - an "Inverted Pendulum" robot. That is, a robot that balances on two wheels. I will post and comment on the pictures that I took during the building of the chassis, and initial electronics work. I will then post schematics, and code.
I will call the is the first version of the robot or "V1". The V1 robot is marginal in its ability to balance, due to a combination of poor sensor placement, less than Ideal programming of the robot, and motors that are too slow. Additionally, I had to remove the microprocessor in order to update its programming. The resulting overuse of the ZIF socket resulted in a growing electronic unreliability.
I intend to address these problems in the V2 robot.
Without further ado, the building of my robot:
 |
| Chassis parts. |
Nice thing about this design, it that all the pieces are 1" x 6", which was very quick to mill and assemble.
 |
| Adhesives used. |
 |
| Start of assembly. |
 |
| The pencil lines are to assist alignment later.... |
 |
| Almost there! |
 |
| Glued together, ready for further work. |
In the future, I would drill all the needed holes before assembling. Overall would be much faster then drilling holes in the assembled chassis, as I did in this build.
