DIY Segway

diy-segway_3



This DIY Segway actually outperforms the real Segway in top speed. You can see a an automatic English translated version here, as you can see from the quote below the Google English translation is not bad but not perfect. The software was written in Bascom and assembler. I didn’t realize that the original Segway cost 100 million to develop, the 2000 pound build cost for this one seems like a bargain considering that. The two 1000W motors make sure there is power to spare when driving around.

Thanks for the tip Daniel.

2 motor controller with Atmega 168/10Mhz and a main control unit with an Atmega 644/20Mhz. In addition, a display of the speedometer and Display3000 data logger. Acceleration Sensor: ADXL335, gyros: LISY300AL (ArduIMU Sensor Board – Six Degrees of Freedom) The entire electronic system was kept very simple. (For more hats not enough) But this has the advantage that no special Spezialkentnisse are required. Who schonmal made a board with an iron to get even that.
