BaRo - Balancing Robot for FPV

thingiverse

The project involves designing a compact, user-friendly, and easy-to-assemble self-balancing robot system for indoor FPV applications. The robot's primary function is to serve as a testing and development platform, with its components carefully chosen for accessibility and simplicity. Key features of the robot include: - 2x Nema17 motors with 200 steps per revolution for smooth movement - 2x A4988 stepper motor drivers for efficient power management - 1x Arduino Nano clone for processing and control - 1x MPU6050 sensor for navigation and balance adjustments - 1x HC-06 Bluetooth module for wireless connectivity - 1x 470uF 16V capacitor for power regulation - A compact breadboard to hold the Arduino, MPU, and Bluetooth module - A mini breadboard to accommodate the stepper driver modules - 1x 3S 850mah LiPo battery for reliable power supply - An optional 1.3" I2C Oled display for enhanced user interface (FrontOled13.stl file required) Additional components include wires, connectors, M3 screws, a switch, double-sided tape, a battery strap, hot glue, bike tubes for wheel friction enhancement, and FPV equipment for added functionality. Development of the robot's source code is ongoing. A self-written program is currently in use, but it will be made available upon completion and uploaded to a public repository. The project has shown promising results, with the robot performing well and demonstrating reasonable robustness.
