Hello, I am building a segway with my class and I was wondering if anyone has some advice or if anyone could help us with some of the questions we have.
1. How strong of motors do you think would be necessary? Atleast how much torque do you think we need?
2. About the motor drives, are there any relatively inexpensive commercial products we could use or is it difficult to build our own. I understand that an h-bridge isn't a very complicated design, but are there important features we'd miss out on by going that route?
3. From our initial research, it looks like you need to use a 2-axis gyroscope and an accelerometer for control. We are not sure what to look for in the specs though. Are there any someone could recommend?
Thanks for any help. We're really excited about this project.
edit: sorry, I think this is the wrong section for this. Could a mod move it over?
