Self Balancing Robot

First Devlog on this project!

Im developing a self balancing robot that takes input from the MPU6050 component and feeds it into a PID loop that outputs motor speeds to the two TT motors on each side of the robot so that it can balance.

Currently, I don’t have a battery for this project but I am thinking about using a drill battery from my drill or buying a Lipo battery. If my drill battery seems too heavy and makes the balancing harder I’ll probably go with the Lipo battery.

Although there are a lot of tutorials on youtube on how to do this, I decided to not copy and paste the firmware from the tutorials onto Arduino IDE. I will however use them as reference for my own software. Im planning on using the PID library for this and also another library that simplifies driving the motors with the l238n motor driver.

This is a pretty simple project, but its a great way to learn how the PID control loop works. Im excited to use PID in more complex projects I will be making!
