Two-wheeled balancer

Post by ahenshaw »

Version: 0.1
Status: Under development

Download: /files/project_builds/balancer.zip

This is a two-wheeled balancer that uses an XMOS XC-1 as the controller. 
Software is written in XC.  Main components include:

angle sensor handler,
PWM (pulse width modulation) for motor control
PID (proportional integral derivative) controller

The control loop uses an 8 ms update rate and only uses one core.
Currently, the controller is only sensing angle and balancing, the next update will include the quadrature encoder sensor.
