Hey everyone, just thought I'd share my latest project with you. I covered a lot of firsts with this project, including:
* First use of a microcontroller
* First H-bridge design
* First time etching a PCB
* first time working with any kind of PID control system
This has taken me a LOT of time, so without boring you too much, some videos of my inverted pendulum will speak for themselves:

This forum has helped a lot (especially bill with his Inchworm help!), and I have to say it was a thrill to build/troubleshoot this. Building this was like working with lego's, but.. better!
I know its not perfect yet, I need to spend more time tuning it so it doesn't spin as much.. but I think 99% done is worth showing off. I'm going to post a bunch of pictures/info later, but I wanted to share while I was still high on success!
