Your life style is a dream for me... Great work!

[@jamierollinson9354]

Watching you work is very calming

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+Jamie Rollinson :) Thanks! glad you like it.

[@Dronebotworkshop]

Awesome stuff - you do great work!

[@JohnnyRottenest]

It balances really smoothly. Really cool.

[@jainvibhore1997]

Dude you're a serious perfectionist!! Never saw so stable balancing bot... Very Neat Job.

[@fahadahmed480]

Seriously?

[@DerIstDerBeste]

Hey Kris, I just discovered your channel and it is amazing to see all these nice projects you did! While watching I saw that you have written some pretty nice programs that are compatible with Arduinos and so on, so I would love to see a tutorial on how to program that. Thank you for all these nice Videos!

[@inart5986]

Very well done! Hope to see your progress soon!

[@clintl326]

Very cool! Your work (roobot and the video) is very professional. Nice job :-)

[@oscarwilbers]

Great stuff, I like your editing style. Love watching your videos. Keep them coming.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+Op W Thanks man!

[@Maxytelford]

All your videos are excellent! I just want to say as a student you have inspired me to build and create my own projects! so thank you :)

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+MJ Thanks man! Glad to hear that. Good luck with your projects!

[@rodneyleinberger9399]

Just wonderful. Thanks.

[@JesseHughson]

just found your channel. this is great stuff! hope to see more soon :)

[@thomasferl]

great work - my respect

[@ocilassolrac14]

You are a genius my friend, wish I had your talent.

[@rholt2]

OY!!! did you get the new part in, yet!??!? i'm waiting for the next upgrade/mods. you did a great job on this - i'm envious of your toolbox and what a great job you did on your tools holder(s). i love how you're working in aluminum. I'd like to get set up with something like that. Lathe & CNC. keep up the great work! Russ from Coral Springs, Fl, USA

[@stewjw]

Very cool as usual. Nice large size as well. Those stepper motors do work well.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+stewjw Thanks man!

[@ArbaouiBillel]

Amazing 👍

[@theodordrymonis6728]

Your project like always is great !!! I hope one day you will make some simple tutorials (related to your projects) for us ! You know so much about programming !!! The most amazing thing is the way you combine many technologies together (image recognition programming , e.t.c) to make something awesome !!!

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+theodor drymonis Thanks! Yes, I'm definitely thinking about making some tutorials. Maybe in the near future.

[@yiwei519]

hi just want to say I love your work so much!!!! I'm currently learning about adrino board and my final goal is to build a self-balancing car!

[@AntonioSouza]

Perfect!

[@selmandridi3172]

Amazing work dude ! i m enjoying your work ! Using ROS will give your robot more anatomy and it's work with raspberry pi ! Good luck for the coming project (y)

[@Enzotheace]

your the best kris Temmerman can't wait for next video xoxox

[@amiralhedmi631]

man,,,, that's Awesome

[@johantjie]

I love these videos!

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+Johan Du Toit Thanks man!

[@MrLimetto]

I have a few questions: -What CNC-Controll software do you use? -What stepper motors do you use on your cnc? -What CAD/CAM programm do you use? -Can you make a complete review of your cnc machine?

[@laurentcnc6662]

Raspberry Pi, welcome in the unix world ! :-)) It's why I like to put Linux CNC on all my CNC's machine, powerfull, easy to fine tune, quick feed back and open source ! Great video

[@androidjmurphyca]

just watched two of your videos excellent work.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Thanks man!

[@jeffreynwankwo7912]

Greeeeeaaat

[@RiseFall98]

Amazing!!

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+Thomas Gastaldi Thanks!

[@patricklacson]

Great project! Do you have a parts list for your project? What controller, motor, mpu did you use?

[@huracan200173]

Does it balance itself relying only on the wheels or has momentum stabilizers (reaction wheels) too? Amazing little robot!

[@antoniounsain6718]

Hello my name is antonio, can you tell me what did you make in the LCD to use full of the screen? Because in my screen, there are many lines and that can't let me use the full lcd

[@Anton-sz6ef]

Hey! I have a question as I never had experience with Raspberry Pi and I am planning on buying one. Does it need an internet cable ? Or it can connect wirelessly to wifi just like a laptop or a phone ? Also your videos are awesome!

[@ilyaselbay3551]

Hi Kris! As a student, watching your work is so motivating. I have a question, did you install QT directely on the Raspberry Pi in order to create and run GUI apps ? If yes did it take a lot of time compile programs? I tried once a cross-compilation with a computer but I failed. Thank you in advance :)

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Thanks :) It was installed on the raspberry Pi. It's doable its your project isn't that big. But you cant call it fast :)

[@rid-ml7si]

hello, where did you learn the programming of arduino and raspberry pi?

[@walterp7125]

very nice!

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+Walter P Thanks Walter!

[@walterp7125]

+Kris Temmerman you're welcome Leonardo ;)

[@NEOUSAP]

Amazing work

[@UncoveredTruths]

a retractable arm is greatly needed, how is your autonomous servant going to fetch your beer without one?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+The Forgotten Lies I'm still thinking about is purpose. But I'm not sure it should serve humanity. There are already plenty of friendly robots around. maybe its time for something else ;)

[@IOExceptional]

+Kris Temmerman I'll tell Elon Musk about your harmful AI activities! :p All seriousness though, great project! Just found out about it, looking forward to the next instalment.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+Lee Walker Thanks Lee!

[@UncoveredTruths]

+Kris Temmerman come back kris, university is stale and so is my sub box

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+The Forgotten Lies I'll be back, just very busy right now. sorry

[@AndersJackson]

You could have a look at ROS system for making robots. And it is programmable i C and C++

[@riseoftech4k332]

what library did you use for the C++ code??

[@kaden56]

I know this video was done a while ago but can you share what the method of communication between the arduino and raspberry pi was? I2C? Serial bus?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

I think it was serial

[@jeramz-gamesnstuff5983]

Grewt video. And very nice workshop. Do you use it for work or just hobby? Subscribed.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Thanks! Both, work and hobby :)

[@simran_sengh]

Hi, I am making this as my final project but i am using Arduino rather than raspberry pi. Can you help me with this Thank you

[@Wiseneutron]

This is amazing! How long did it take you to do all this?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+chevale batterie agrafe a couple of days... a week... something like that.

[@wicqedeyebot5631]

whoa you really impress me, I wonder if you wrote the code in C++, you will be more satisfying...

[@Aloha-tj7ks]

could you share the code of this Balancing Robot ?, thank you!

[@crime4pple]

Hee kris. Eerste keer dat ik je kanaal tegen kom maar t ziet er erg goed uit! Ik ben zelf nog best nieuw in robotica. Heb laatst een balancerend koffieblik gemaakt. Ik gebruikte dc motortjes en kleinere wielen dus hij bleef nauwelijks overeind. (maar ben er nog steeds trost op). 2 vraagjes: Hoe krijg je opencv werkend op je robot. Kun je dat runnen op de raspberry of run je het op je computer die het dan weer terug stuurt naar de robot? En zou je misschien de arduino code van deze robot met ons willen delen? Alvast bedankt!

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Hi Bram, Thanks! Opencv draait op een raspberry pi (niet echt snel, maar na wat finetuning toch redelijk) Arduino code: github.com/neuroprod/balancingRobot. (is nog wel niet af, maar is de code die in het filmpje gebruikt wordt)

[@vapequarters2761]

I love your videos! where you from BTW?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+Vape Quarters Thanks, I'm from Antwerp, Belgium

[@vdhkkgrwuo2454]

you made all of this projects from KZbin!!!!

[@MichaelBogucki]

hi Kris, I love your videos. Very inspiring. What sort of bandsaw are you using at 0:41??? Thank you.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Thanks, its branded holzstar HBS351-2, but its just a chines import.

[@nemernemer]

+Kris Temmerman Just wondering, is this project scrapped, or just on vacation? 7 months is just, a _bit_ long...

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Hi Nils. I'm renovating my new house (and workshop). So I don't have much free time at the moment. The planning is to finish that by the end of this year. So hopefully I can start to make new videos by then

[@nemernemer]

***** Ok, thank you for the response :) Good luck on the house, I know how stressfull that kind of stuff can be :P

[@millenia2222]

Sir, teach how you make it step by step please?:)

[@MarkBateman]

Are you using arduino for controlling the motors and pi to command the arduino?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+Mark Bateman yes :)

[@juann1052]

Hi, how do you do for setup the camera with QT in C Thank you very much

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+Walker I Used openCV to get the camera data an converted that data to a QImage.

[@juann1052]

+Kris Temmerman thanks i go to try

[@hyp3rvirus]

how much does it cost?

[@govorilegko]

How to make it by steps?

[@aniketpatil4654]

Sir y did u use only the Stepper Motor?? V can use many such small different motors with encoders...!!! Please tell if there is any special purpose to use these Stepper Motors....!!!

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

the only reason is that I had the steppers already laying around :)

[@akikonaru321]

With stepper, you can control it's rotating angle. No need to use encoder

[@selcukkizilcaoglu6595]

hello Kris, I looking you are usng apple. I am using windows platform for pc and I dont know How can I changed codes for raspberry. I will making DC and servo motor control also like you by using raspberry. I using opencv platform by visiol studio for writeing c++ codes. Can you share documents with us. By sharing information is a growing treasure. How did you added (or changed codes pladform from windows to for raspberry) inside to raspberry of your wrote code in opencv platforms. Thank you dude! you are best and my favorite in the all youtube channels.

[@ashishgautam7889]

i wish i could be the assistant of you so that i could use all of that materials and machines.

[@randomrandom316]

I know right, how I wish there was a way to get my hands on those materials and machine. College has all of these but for some strange reason they won't let you use them.

[@EduElectronics]

There is a chance to check out the code ? and... Your toolbox is amazing!!!

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+El Xed Thanks! Here is the arduino stuff, I'll try to commit the PI stuff later today (to the same repo) github.com/neuroprod/balancingRobot. Keep in mind, its still a work in progress.

[@EduElectronics]

+Kris Temmerman nice, tnx!!!

[@Spirit532]

Good one! Your steppers/drivers are still very unhappy :(

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+Spirit Hi Spirit, I think there fine... I did check it and i turned up the amps till they where getting very hot. With no difference in sound. To little power gives an other kind of squeaking noise. Maybe its some frequency in the driver timing thats a little bit of or something with the micro steps . But it does feel ok, i don't think its struggling...

[@Spirit532]

***** Then probably it's not the current - it can be noise. Try shielding where you can, and see if it goes away. The reason all drivers whine and do a funky beat is because the error amplifier is getting disoriented for a brief moment.

[@yousefnzamil]

Are you interested in building a customized robot for my business

[@zaprodk]

Next part: LIDAR?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

+zaprodk wait and see ;)

[@mildot5482]

I hate you because you are genius

[@joakimjocka8022]

Can i ask what major you studied in university ?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Going to school wasn't really my thing, I didn't do any higher education ;) I'm self taught...

[@joakimjocka8022]

@@KrisTemmermanNP wow man ,i wish i had your tenacity, i am doing computer sciences right and i feel like i should engage more in projects but school kinda holds me back a bit , keep at it man

[@johnkoester7795]

I want to use a good programming system so I can use when I make my robot it’s going to be my hobby and I want to make a dragon type robot Based on cynder from the legend of spyro dawn of the dragon that specific model design of her in the game but what should I use I want to make the skeleton strong able to climb things balance itself be able to move around without a remote or switch be able to have human like conversations be able to see through camera like lenses that look like pupils enable to have a tail that moves enable to move around like a type of animal like a A Dog A cheetah or a wolf those kind of movement capabilities and I want to use some kind of fabric would say get everything on also need to cover up the mechanic and endoskeleton is there any kind of covering that you would recommend also we can’t afford a 3-D printer and we’re waiting on my Social Security and I got some blueprints written down on a notebook also I want to give her some claws and be able to attack for defense and recognize me as her creator or owner and recognize certain family members as well as wistand roughness and able to protect her from rain and have human like emotions and responses and able to have artificial intelligence built-in And not have an on and off switch and no requirement to be charged able to run at TopSpeed like a cheetah able to grip things in her paws and teeth and have wings that have lifelike movement and to withstand heat and I want to know what I can use to give her lips that move so we can show emotion like they do with certain robots able to see in the dark and just be a personal companion and someday I’m gonna make bonbon from five nights at Freddy’s sister location and I’ll be so cool if someone made mangle from five nights at Freddy’s 2 if you want you can search it up so you’ll know what I’m talking about like cynder bon bon mangle aswell The penguin from five nights at candy’s have to if you don’t want to I just need some help also just wondering do you have an email? So I can be able to talk to you?
