Aktivt balanserad cykel

Sammanfattning: To conclude this year’s introductory course in Mechatronics the students, in groups of 6, constructed a prototype based on the technical requirements established by the course teachers. This year they consisted of the following: two wheels only, active balancing, remote controlled and able to stop when crossing a pre-determined marker on the ground. The project lasted for 7 weeks and the result is a working prototype and this report. The report reviews the chosen solution, subsystems and the finished prototype as well as suggestions for improvements, discussion and analysis. The prototype constructed embodied most of the group’s earlier individual technical specialties and consists of the following: a flywheel for balancing, ultrasound for angle measurement, a reflective photomicrosensor to detect the marker and Bluetooth for the hand control.
