OpenELAB Self-balancing Car Kit for Arduino Robot Kit
This balance car kit is designed utilizing the Arduino development platform. The core component of this kit is the OpenELAB V4.0 (Black) Main Control Board, which works in conjunction with a balance shield equipped with a built-in MPU-6050 serving as the drive board for testing the vehicle's posture.
The balance shield is integrated with a Bluetooth interface, ensuring full compatibility with the Bluetooth XBee module, specifically for use with the Android operating system. Upon establishing a Bluetooth connection, users can effortlessly control the movement direction of the balance car through a dedicated Bluetooth application, thereby enabling a range of unique postures.
To enhance operational control, the Bluetooth application offers both key and gravity control modes. Furthermore, it incorporates the capability to adjust the balance angle and PID parameters, enabling users to achieve precise adjustments and effective management of the balance vehicle.
