@ -4,15 +4,17 @@ My attempt at building a two-wheeled self-balancing robot. The project started a
later evolved as a University project. I'll upload the university report to this repo as soon as it is complete. This repo will also be
supported by a blog post on [emamaker.com](https://emamaker.com)
The physical model of the robot has been derived by calculatin the Lagrangian function. This model
is heavily non-linear and has been linearized around the 0° point (equilibrium).
The physical model of the robot has been derived by calculating the Lagrangian function. This model

The linearized model has been reconstructed in MatLab Simulink and a discrete-time PID controller
has been calculated by trial and error.
has been calculated by trial and error. This PID Controller was used to dimension the motors (max. torque
in particular) and was later refined with the Ziegler-Nichols method.
The robot has later been built using a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller paired with a MPU6050
6-axis IMU, from which the pitch angle is derived with the use of a [Madgwick](https://ahrs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/filters/madgwick.html) filter.
(Initially this was a simple complementary filter, but it was way to noise, check the blog post).
(Initially this was a simple complementary filter, but it was way too subject to noise from the
accelerometer, check the blog post).
The two motors (Hitec HS-322HD servomotors, check blog post for the choice
of motors) are driven by a L298N motor driver. Everything is powered by a 2S 7.4V LiPo battery.
