Balancing robot now detects step loss and can self right

[@michaeld1925]

This is the best balancing robot i have met so far. Great work! Thanks for sharing.

[@aboudezoa]

This is great ! I attempted few months ago to create version 1 but no luck ! I have to revisit with new upgrade 👌

[@Technical_stuff86]

Absolutely amazing, the best self balancing robot on youtube. Does the software support mobile phone control or does a ps3 controller have to be used. Thanks!

[@kloppertje]

Yes a mobile phone can be used. The robot connects to a wifi network, and the robot can be controlled by accessing a web page

[@Technical_stuff86]

I appreciate your work! I'm starting to build this robot, I'm absolutely blown away. Thank you very much my friend!

[@kloppertje]

@@Technical_stuff86 thank you and have fun :)

Amazing, great work 😀

Thanks for project. I have problem, when compile project, get "the default constructor of "union " cannot be referenced -- it is a deleted function" - problems with plotData. String 842.

[@cduncan64]

Success! I uploaded the new code to to the old robot frame and, after buying a genuine PS3 controller, I now have a little speed demon running around my house. I am still having an issue with it not running on concrete. Since I haven't messed with the default PID values, I suspect that may be part of it. One question: PlatformIO is complaining about the plotdata union{ struct{ . "the default constructor of "union " cannot be referenced -- it is a deleted function" As far as I know, my PlatformIO is up to date. Any ideas? Again, thank you for a great project! Watching this bot faceplant like a dunkard is hilarious!

Why are you using stepper motors rather than a motor from an rc car for example?

[@Francesco105590]

why did you connect pin 19 of the DRV8825 chip to the SLP / RST pin of the driver?

SUBSCRIBED! Nice :) 9:03

[@EdwarRinaldo]

Hi, can you explain the schematic, many thanks...

[@a.sanusinazareth9213]

When the bot runs fast, Newton's law of inertia makes it fall, is that right? so, the function of imu error.

[@kloppertje]

I don't get yet what you mean, can you explain a bit more? The robot will always fall whether it runs fast or stands still.

[@a.sanusinazareth9213]

@@kloppertje well, I also think that imu can not maintain itself to balance in fast driving. My friends must be interested to see your videos' experiment then

[@klikdesainweb]

Using Newton's law of inertia, then It will be easy for the bot to balance at 45 degrees without falling. yeah!

[@a.sanusinazareth9213]

@@klikdesainweb I thought so, buddy :D

[@Francesco105590]

hello, please can you help me step by step? i loaded the sketch, and the serial monitor says : loading index.html; what should i do, which file should i open from the data folder? index? should I click AP or SSID and what credentials to put? I specify that I use arduino ide

[@kloppertje]

Hi, I'm sorry but you'll have to figure this out yourself. I won't have access to a computer the next three months. Did you upload the file system, as per the instructions?

[@Francesco105590]

@@kloppertje What would the file system be and where should it be loaded? I watched the video but couldn't find anything about it

[@kloppertje]

See the instructions on gitlab, and my other video

[@Francesco105590]

I uploaded the BalancingRobot file of another video to the ESP, do I need to upload something else to control it from my mobile phone? should the data folder be loaded on the ESP? I'm unhappy

[@muslimkafa]

I can replace drv8825 with a4988 on this project ?

[@kloppertje]

Yes

[@muslimkafa]

@@kloppertje I'm working on it now I'm having a hard time moving the engine I know I'm going to lose some speed, especially the improvements you made in general If you give us another summary of the video explaining the code a little I find this project the coolest project for a balancing robot, I'm in North Africa, I make my own printed circuit board Thanks in advance

[@hhunter2642]

Do you have tutorial how to program ESP32 with python?

[@kloppertje]

No sorry, I don't

[@hhunter2642]

​@@kloppertje Thank you. How about any resources you used running ESP32 with Python?

[@kloppertje]

@@hhunter2642 I've never used the ESP32 with Python; the only thing I can do is refer to some manual, for example docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp32/tutorial/intro.html

[@hhunter2642]

@@kloppertje Thank you so much for your reply. For the hardware in your project, is it open source as well?

[@kloppertje]

@@hhunter2642 Yes everything is open source. See gitlab.com/kloppertje/balancingrobot/-/tree/devel
