Week 15: Applications and Implications

• Assignments

This week’s assignments

propose a final project that integrates the range of units covered:
  what will it do?

  	Self balance, remote controlled minion

  who's done what beforehand?

  	Errr..almost everything. There are tons of balanced robot design online availiable already. The unique feature of this one is the BLDC motors. And it is pretty similar as the brushless gimbal.

  what materials and components will be required?

  	Still..almost everything. 3d printed body, brushless motor, wheel, etc..

  where will they come from?

  	My electronic 'magic' box and old projects

  how much will it cost?

  	BLDC motor £8 each

  	the rest could be sourced from fablab or my old projects

  what processes will be used?

  	Atmega328p

  what tasks need to be completed?

  	Modify gimbal controller board software, PID tunning

  how will it be evaluated?

  	Self balance stand would be a good point to start with.
