Segway like véhicle with Flowcode DSpic

Post by benp »

This year, one student group(INSA Lyon-France) works on the upgrade of last year vehicle.
See here for last year project:
http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforum ... 106#p29031

We test Flowcode Dspic and that's easier to code because float are supported natively by dspic.
We use a dsPIC30F3014.
The code is very small: only 65 flowcode steps are needed to perform the stabilisation. Most steps are for printing on LCD(21 steps).

Here is the small scale model moving (not really because stabilised).

We use Eblock+one accelerometer/gyro card+one Sabertooth card and our standard motor and PVC board.

The scale 1 manufacturing will finish in june.
Next step is wifi control...

I wish I had such interesting things to do when I was studying!

And I hope your students appreciate the motivating challenges you are giving them.

The basic wifi control is ready now on the flowcode side.
It is now possible to control it with windows and netstuff or an Android device and Packet injection.
This is like step 2 of this project:

Step 3 is the computing project for students...
