Re: How to create a fast Segway?

I bought the Hitechnic DC motor controller and I have attached a dc motor to it. It works like a charm :D . Thx a lot for the hint! The dc motor has an encoder shaft with a resolution of 500 pulses (increments). The problem is that I don't find a serious datasheet to the controller and so I don't kn...

Re: How to create a fast Segway?

No, I haven't calculated it yet. Now I'm analyzing the signals from the NXT Brick. Do you know how to function "nMotorEncoder[]" works? I would like to know how the counter of the NXT Brick is initialized, and how the values of the encoder are used. Generally I've the problem that I don't ...

It's possible to attach DC motors with tachos to this? I ask, because fot the balancing task of the Segway I need to contr...

How to create a fast Segway?

Hello, I'm a swiss student (mechatronics) and I'm in the middle of my bachelor work. The project consists in creating a Segway that is able to move around at a maximum speed of 4m/s. At the moment,I've assembled the Segway described by Laurens Valk (with the dIMU Gyro), and it works like a charm. I'...
