Feature
●The Beauto Balancer 2 is a handstand pendulum learning kit that teaches a wide range of control mechanisms and theory from introductory to serious research. Similar to the traditional bute balancer series products, the input value of two sensors (gyro sensor and rotary encoder) can be adjusted to the output of a DC motor that controls the wheels, allowing the unstable inverted pendulum to stand stably.
●This product is newly equipped with a bi-directional current detection circuit, and the current control of the DC motor allows you to perform inverted control using the torque directive. In addition, it has a built-in 4 kByte RAM for logging data, so you can get a sensor log when operating alone. This allows a PCless wireless experiment.
●Programming can be programmed in the same manner as the traditional Bute Balancer Series as well as the "Balancer 2 programmer" which can be used in GUI format, and the C language programming for each side of the PC and body control board. Publish sample sources and dedicated libraries and even inexperienced programming users can move the main unit.
