I have decided to build a single wheeled bot and im keeping it simple, since this is my 1st build. No arms, no servos(other than for the wheel), and no body covers. So, it will be no wider than the ez-b board and no taller than a tire, servo, board, gyros, and battery pack. I'm going to use two futaba gy401 gyros, one I have already purchased. My issue is this: I'm unsure of how I will attach the gyros to the server and then to the board. I have a design in mind, but I'm not sure how to design the wiring. Any help is appreciated.
Oh, and I want to control the bot with a wimote.
Thanks
Alright cool, thanks for making a thread. Ok you want to do a smaller balance bot so you should be able to utilize some smaller gear. What do you have so far for your build?
I have the ez robot builder kit, some spare wire, connectors, sodering iron, and soder.
I have purchased one gyro and a gear kit from vex robotics. Both are still on their way.
Whats the gear kit for? Here is a physical layout pic.
This is a simple design , three circle solid pieces and one ring at the bottom. One shelf for batteries next shelf ezb and 2 h bridges and gyros. Top is left clean but thats a great place to piut a ez cam
I order the gear kit before I decided what I wanted to build.
That looks like what I was thinking.
What do you mean "3 circle sold pieces"? Why are there 4servos?
I meant solid circles , another words no hole in the platform. The last piece goes around your ball. The servos are modified to be able to rotate continuously and controlled by an h bridge. L298n 2.5 amp in the ez robot store. Two servos rotate x axis and two the y axis.
Also, if I use the supplied servos (the ones that are in the kit) why do I need a h bridge?
You need four so thats two more of the 10.99 servo
For your robot to have good grip on the ball you need a motor with a wheel on each end of the axis agianst the ball. So you have two already you just need two more to balance on the x and y axis.
Oh, lol. I get it now.
Ok, so what do you think about using a racketball?
