| Abstract | This report consists of the methodologies of the development of the balancing control of a bicycle using a flywheel and also the results which were obtained. This project states about balancing a bicycle by rotating a reaction wheel fixed vertically to the bicycle in such a way that the rate of change of angular momentum of the tilting of the bicycle when falling is counteracted. In this project the balancing control is achieved by PID control theory. This project also uses the MPU 650 gyro sensor which acts as the input device to the system. In getting values from the gyro sensor noise filtering algorithms had to be used in order to reduce noise coming from the accelerometer. In this project I have implemented the complimentary filter but since it was proven not to be effective for my project I have used the Digital Motion Processing Fusion (DMP Fusion) algorithm to reduce the noise to a tolerance level of 0.1. Furthermore, I have implemented a steering system in my project which is controlled manually by an RF controller and its receiver. |
