Balancing Robot with PID - Mini Robot PCB

🔥I've tried to make a small balancing robot but I had problems with the small motors so I'll try more in the next part. This time at least we have good results for the PID control.

For editing PID, I find it's much faster to set up a remote control with three knobs that I can use to tune the PID values in real time. Changing the values in code and then transferring it to the mechatronics takes too much time and is frustrating so the extra hardware cost is usually money well spent.

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

That's such a good idea :))))) thanks

[@studioOuTproductions]

Another solution is to design a simple interface in python or matlab where you can adjust the set point an pid values and see the response on a graph, and the comunícate the values via UART communication (or Bluetooth in this case).

@@ELECTRONOOBS very surprised to hear that you haven't thought of this smart idea for online pid tuning before :)

[@jackwilliams2010]

Very cool! I've been wanting to do a PID project for the longest time. More like a puzzle and learning experience. I wish my college mechatronics class had something like this. Thanks for sharing!

[@ugetridofit]

you should really dive into the ESP32. On a project like this where your making many changes it would be very helpful to flash it OTA. Not to mention you would also be able to get information back to you over Wifi to get live information at your PC.

[@leehewitt9559]

Excellent video. PID controllers are always difficult to trim but this is an excellent example. Thanks and glad to be a patron of the channel

Thank you very much!

This is a great example of a real world design!

Awesome robot!! Respect from a beginner, keep inspiring us!!

I like the bravery of you balancing the hammer right beside your laptop.

🤣

[@Debraj1978]

Looking forward for the second part of the video.

[@JohnJaggerJack]

There is nothing wrong returning to the basics from time to time, i sometimes "brush" some of my calculus I notes from college years just to be sure i'm using the right integrals rules and derivations too. Anyways, great video as usual, top notch content.

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Thank you very much!

impressive as always

[@YueBeifong]

Very clean project, holy shesh!

[@ajeethsuryash5123]

Amazing content. Good luck

[@bluedeath996]

You could get NEMA 8 or NEMA 11 motors. Going from the first ones to a NEMA17 is like saying a bicycle didn't work so I used a tank.

[@nistakmahmud]

Great work... ❤️❤️❤️ from Bangladesh.

[@backdemoletor4654]

Nice project

[@malehakim248]

Once again, thanks for a very good video. Pretty much informative. However, i think you left out some parts that i think are pretty much crucial. the most important being how to set the current for the stepper motors with those TMC2225. The other drivers have a potentiometer that one can dial on but when i checked out the TMC drivers, they lacked that potentiometer.

[@hacksmith9995]

Very amazing

[@chaunceywilliamswilliams3051]

I noticed your DIY projects. I used to work in prototype at Flextronics and was thinking of a hot air parts removal system. I got a Shark steam Mop professional. It has a heater unit and adjustable air pump system inside. Was wondering if you could see, think, whatever you want if this is a feasible project that would function. These heating units already have a tube hole at top. So hot air could be funneled into a specific spot. Also the pump has speed settings. Just don't know if it will function with air only and no water. Or it has heat control to control overheating etc?

[@alwayscensored6871]

I have most of these parts or equivalents. You got me interested.

[@captainamerica949]

I'm 85 years old and will try to do this project. Thank you my boy

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

You welcome cap

[@rverm1000]

You can still use them if you use bearing on both sides of the wheel. Just like how a bicycle wheel gets supports.

[@captivator13]

Great video,,, Thanks brother :)) Sam 🎵✌🏻

[@666aron]

Awesome little robot! I love it. One question though: why did you choose a stepper motor instead of a DC motor + rotary encoder?

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Is easier to control the real speed and also the speed is not affected by the battery voltage change...

[@siddharthmali5841]

Great.

[@afamchibuzor347]

Great video!. Can you do a video on 4 quadrant dc motor control with Arduino?

[@muhammadshafi2611]

Great explanation , but can someone clarify me on the timer interrupt to create pulses. If the interrupt is to be trigger and generate pulse each 20usec, does it mean the stepper will turn in constant speed until error is eliminated (robot stood upright) ? I' am a bit confuse on how the PID output manipulated the interval between pulse 😥

[@jstro-hobbytech]

You make the coolest pcbs and I like how you're not afraid to show failed prototypes. Message me on patreon. I have something really cool to send you.

Going the opposite direction would be good too. Make a balancing you can stand on

[@GHILLIESARCADEANDMORE]

Cool

[@tombraselton2671]

Perhaps N20 gear motors for the little PCB guy? Would like to see him alone without his huge shell. :) You can also have it at 6 volts instead. Some use it in micromouse competitions. Don’t look it up on KZbin as it is VERY interesting and you will want to build one if you haven’t seen them. :/

[@overkill2828]

This project is strikingly similar to "Your Arduino Balancing Robot" by Joop Brokking, especially the code. Please give him credit and link to his video.

[@lis6502]

such joysticks are actually purchaseable as "vr controller". They have bluetooth connectivity in few ways (selectable), as a mouse, keyboard (simulating keypresses). Not sure if tearing apart Wii remote and stuffing its corpse with Arduino is feasible :)

[@tonysfun]

Do you have a way so I can order the PCB from PCBway? Thank you. Thank you for your videos!

Thank you Sir, for all of your videos. Sir, If you review "jdy-40 " bt module, that will be very helpful for me. Specially "at command, pwm pins and gpio pin with arduino compatibilities and modified programme ". (I bought some jdy-40 module, but they didn’t work. I think there was a problem with bootloader or flash ) so it is very helpful for me, if you make a video with this module❤️

[@nurrudinazzaky8374]

No need to burn bootloader to atmega chip?

[@Mr.Robot373]

Can we use ULN2003 stepper moter ?

[@amremam8937]

What about making something like hoverboard, where two half can tilt separately, you won't need a load on the top

[@crazytronics9917]

Thank you so much for making video on this i have two questions 1.) Can we use autoPID library for balancing it? 2.) Is it possible to build a fuzzy logic algorithm for balancing this type of robot.?

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Maybe but the code would be a bit different if you use a PID Libra

[@alwayscensored6871]

PID math does my head in, Fuzzy logic I understand better.

[@prathameshraikar5428]

[@lis6502]

also consider using BMS for batteries and enclosure around pack. Trust me, i know how LiPos can be dangerous when mishandled ;)

[@shashankarmy]

Yeah I also thinked before

[@ziad_jkhan]

Shouldn't there be a library to help auto-tune the PID by now? I see no reason why it can't be done by letting the machine monitor the time it can stay still as new values are tried. If you go that way, you'd want to hang it with a string to prevent if falling over of course.

[@alwayscensored6871]

Be a good use of a genetic algorithm. Get it to learn to program it's own PID.

[@ObsequiousV4]

Those super tiny stepper motors are quite difficult to work with as a hobbyist. I bought a box of 70 of them months ago and damaged about 10 of them in the process of getting one of them working. sad time

[@maxgear9648]

better to make tires flat, it will improve stability and surface contact

[@raffyturc]

ditch the spiked wheels. use a smooth one

[@idontthinkso3224]

Actually, I need to learn more about wire library and the registers and all this things (0x1B, 0x3C, 0x3B, 0x6B) and what they mean..... So if anyone can help me to find more resources about it.

[@08acbest]

Old harddrives etc have steppers in them. Those first tiny ones are from DVD drives.

You might get better results with a state space control method.
