Segway

This repository holds code for robots that balance on two wheels, made with various robotics platforms.

Currently available platforms

• LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 (ev3dev/Python):

  • Building instructions
  • Add a Touch Sensor to Port 1. I added it just like the Gyro, but on the other side of the brick. This will be the program's safe stop button.
  • Run the program like any other ev3dev Python program
    • Transfer and segway.py and parameters.py to your EV3, and put them in the same directory.
    • To turn them into executable scripts, run:
      • chmod +x segway.py
    • Now you can run the program: ./segway.py
    • Or, use the VS Code IDE for convenience.
    • Wait for the program to start (up to 10 seconds)
    • Hold segway up right with its resting wheels on the ground and press the Touch Sensor
    • Press the Touch Sensor again to stop. Then again to restart, if you like.

• LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 (standard EV3 software)

  • See this page for instructions, videos, and the code

• VEX IQ (RobotC):

  • Building instructions
  • Code
  • [Video] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P7SWxnKF_A)
  • Instructions for running this program are included in the code.
