YABR (Your Arduino Balancing Robot)

thingiverse

This is a 3D printed version of Joop Brokking's laser cut (Oops. CNC Router cut) self balancing robot http://www.brokking.net/yabr_main.html He has some really great detailed projects. Have a look! Please note!!! I have not tested this as yet. The box with my stepper motors has gone missing somewhere in my shed. If you saw my shed, you may understand ;) The Tinkercad files are here... https://www.tinkercad.com/things/dsL5FKR6KcK-yabr-your-arduino-balancing-robot The frame is screwed together with M3x15 screws just into the plastic. Nuts may be added if you think it is needed. So far, I have not made the mount for the circuit boards. Some additions may be to also include ultrasonic sensors.... And a transmitter case could be the next step. EDIT: It is odd how you find things when looking for something else. I found the motors. But they have pulleys on the shafts so I will mod the wheels to suit. Motors mounted with 4 M3x10 screws. The modified wheels went on, sort off. Each motor has a different size pulley! Super glue will help. I have made no provision in this version for holes to mount the circuit board. That will be version 2, maybe. EDIT: I have started the electronics assembly. The accelerometer works ok but I had a wiring error on the stepper drivers. I fixed that, then, for some reason, the Arduino is no longer programming :( At this time, I can't be bothered unsoldering everything to get the the Arduino off the board so this project stops here for now.
