keyestudio Self-balancing Car

Overview

How to DIY a mini balance car on your own? This balance car kit is based on Arduino development platform. We mainly use REV4 as core and balance shield with built-in MPU-6050 as drive board to test the car body posture.
The balance shield comes with a Bluetooth interface, fully compatible with the Bluetooth XBee module (only compatible with Android system).
When connecting to Bluetooth, you can easily control the moving direction of balance car with Bluetooth APP, making a variety of unique postures.
To facilitate the operation control, Bluetooth APP has both key and gravity control modes. 
Moreover, it adds the function of adjusting the balance angle and PID parameters as well, so you can perfectly adjust and control the balance car.
No need to worry how to play it. We can provide you with all assembly components, as well as the corresponding installation, debugging method and program.

Operation Principle

The self-balancing car uses the power of the car body to maintain the relative balance, which is a process of dynamic balance.
The power to maintain the balance of the car comes from the movement of the wheels, driven by two DC motors.
The control of the car body can be divided into three control tasks as follows:

• 1. Balance Control: keep the car upright and balanced by controlling the forward and backward rotation of the car’s wheel.
  
• 2. Speed Control: realize the front and rear movement and speed control by controlling the inclination of the car. In fact, it is achieved finally by controlling the speed of the motor.
  
• 3. Direction Control: realize the steering control by controlling the rotational speed differences between the two motors of the car.
  

In this way, it is relatively simple to understand the three control tasks.
But in the final control process, it comes down to the control of a control quantity. So there will be coupling between the three tasks, which will interfere with each other.
The key is to control the car’s balance; the speed and direction control should be as smooth as possible.

Parameters of balance car

Project 1: Getting Started with Main Board and ARDUINO

The REV4 Control Board

When it comes to using the REV4 as core of our robot, the REV4 is the best board to get started with electronics and coding. If this is your first experience tinkering with the platform, the REV4 is the most robust board you can start playing with.

Well, let's at first have a look at this REV4 board.

	USB Connection Arduino board can be powered via USB connector. Or you can program the board via the USB port.
	DC Power Jack Arduino board can be supplied with power from the DC power jack
	Voltage Regulator To control the voltage provided to the Arduino board, as well as to stabilize the DC voltage used by the processor and other components.
	Crystal Oscillator How does Arduino calculate time? by using a crystal oscillator. The number printed on the top of the Arduino crystal is 16.000H9H. It tells us that the frequency is 16,000,000 Hertz or 16MHz.
	Arduino RESET You can reset your Arduino board, for example, start the program from the very beginning. Firstly, use the RESET button（17）. Or you can connect an external reset button to Arduino pin 5 labeled RESET
	Pin Header（3.3V，5V，GND，Vin 3.3V - provides 3.3V output voltage 5V - provides 5V output voltage Using 3.3 volts and 5 volts, most components can normally operate with Arduino board together. GND（Ground pins）- two GND headers on Arduino, each of which can be used for circuit ground. Vin - You can supply an external power (like AC power supply) through this pin to Arduino board.
	Analog Pins Arduino REV4 board has 6 analog inputs, labeled A0 through A5. These pins can read the signal from analog sensors (such as humidity sensor or temperature sensor), and convert it into the digital value that can read by microcontrollers)
	Microcontroller Each Arduino board has its own microcontroller. You can regard it as the brain of your board. The main IC (integrated circuit) on the Arduino is slightly different from the panel pair. Microcontrollers are usually from ATMEL. Before you load a new program from the Arduino IDE, you must know what IC is on your board. This information can be checked at the top of IC.
	ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) Header In most case, ICSP is the AVR, an Arduino micro-header consisting of MOSI, MISO, SCK, RESET, VCC, and GND.It is often called the SPI (serial peripheral interface) and can be considered an "extension" of the output.In fact, slave the output devices under the SPI bus host.
	Power LED Indicator Powering the Arduino, LED on means that your circuit board is correctly powered on. If LED is off, connection is wrong.
	TX and RX LED Onboard you can find two labels:　RX(receive ) and TX (transmit) First appear on digital pin 0 and 1 for serial communication; Besides, the RX LED on the board will flash in different speed when serial data is being transmitted. The flash speed depends on the baud rate set by board. And RX LED will also flash during the receiving process.
	Digital I/O Arduino REV4 has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs). These pins can be configured as digital input pin to read the logic value (0 or 1). Or used as digital output pin to drive different modules like LED, relay, etc. The pin labeled “〜” can be used to generate PWM.
	AREF Reference voltage( 0-5V) for the analog inputs. Used with analogReference().

The Balance Car Shield

The balance shield is an important part for this balance car. With it, you can DIY the balance car more simple. It is fully compatible with REV4 board; just stack it onto the control board.
The balance shield comes with a 6612FNG chip for driving two DC motors; two white connectors for connecting DC motor; a DC power jack for powering on the shield and REV4;
Also comes with a large slide switch for controlling the power switch; a MPU-6050 for testing the posture; a XBEE Bluetooth interface for connecting Bluetooth module to communicate with Android devices; a small slide switch for controlling Bluetooth module’s communication; also comes with a button and an active buzzer.
The control pins of REV4 are all brought out as female header on the shield; the serial port and I2C communication pins are brought out as pin headers.
Note: connect the motor to the motor’s connector on the shield.

PINOUTS:

Installing Arduino IDE

When you get the REV4 development board, first you should install the software and driver of Arduino. You can see all the Arduino software versions from the link below:

Project 2: Button and Buzzer

Description:
In the previous project, you have learned how to use Arduino software environment.
Want to try it? Great. This project let’s get started with a basic program to enter the programming world of arduino.

The keyestudio balance car shield comes with a button KEY_13 and an active buzzer. To be specific, button is controlled by pin D13 on REV4; active buzzer is controlled by pin D11 on REV4.


In the experiment, we get down to controlling the buzzer with button. When press the button, the buzzer will sound.
The active buzzer comes with oscillating circuit. Actually, simple to set the pin D11 to HIGH, the buzzer can beep. We come to simulate the setting method of passive buzzer. Set different square wave to make the active buzzer output different sounds.

Source Code:

const int buz = 11;    // set the buzzer pin 
const int btn = 13;    //set the button pin 
int button;    //button variable

void setup() 
{
  pinMode(btn,INPUT);       //set to INPUT state
  pinMode(buz,OUTPUT);       //set to OUTPUT state 
}

void loop() 
{
  button = digitalRead(btn);       //assign the button value to variable button
  if(button == 0)    //if press the button
  {
    delay(10);    //delay time 
    if(button == 0)     //judge again, if the button is pressed
    {
      buzzer();  // execute the subfunction of buzzer
    }
  }
  else        // button not pressed
  {
    digitalWrite(buz,LOW);    // buzzer not sounds
  }
}

//buzzer makes tick sound
void buzzer()      
{
    for(int i=0;i<50;i++)
    {
    digitalWrite(buz,HIGH);
    delay(1);
    digitalWrite(buz,LOW);
    delay(1);
    }
    delay(50);
    for(int i=0;i<50;i++)
    {
    digitalWrite(buz,HIGH);
    delay(1);
    digitalWrite(buz,LOW);
    delay(1);
    }
}

Test Result:
Installed well the balance car, upload the source code and power on; turn the slide switch ON and then press the KEY_13 button on the shield. The active buzzer on the balance shield will sound; otherwise, it will not sound.

Project 3: TB6612 Motor Driving

Description:
We have tested the balance shield’s button and buzzer. Now, we are going to mainly test the motor driving ability.
In the project, we control the right motor’s direction by pin D8 D12 on REV4; speed is controlled by pin D10. The left motor’s direction by pin D7 D6 on REV4; speed is controlled by pin D9.



The specified control method refers to the table below:


The D9 D10 are PWM pins, which can be used as Digital output or Analog output.
If used as Analog output, it needs to call the analogWrite() function of ARDUINO, and this analogWrite() function can be controlled in the range of 0-255.
A call to analogWrite() is on a scale of 0-255, such that analogWrite(255) requests a 100% duty cycle (always on), and analogWrite(127) is a 50% duty cycle (on half the time).

In the code, the greater the PWM value set by pin D9 and D10, the faster the two motors’ speed.
In the following, we only simply set the two motors to turn forward and backward.

Source Code:

//TB6612 pins
const int right_R1=8;    
const int right_R2=12;
const int PWM_R=10;
const int left_L1=7;
const int left_L2=6;
const int PWM_L=9;

void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(9600);          //set the baud rate to 9600
  
  pinMode(right_R1,OUTPUT);     // set all TB6612pins to OUTPUT
  pinMode(right_R2,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(PWM_R,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(left_L1,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(left_L2,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(PWM_L,OUTPUT);
}

void loop() 
{
  // two motors turn forward
  digitalWrite(right_R1,HIGH);
  digitalWrite(right_R2,LOW);
  digitalWrite(left_L1,HIGH);
  digitalWrite(left_L2,LOW);
  analogWrite(PWM_R,100);   // write into PWM value 0~255（speed）
  analogWrite(PWM_L,100);
}

Test Result:
Installed well the balance car, upload the source code and power on; turn the slide switch ON.
Both left and right motors start to turn forward.

Project 4: Hall Encoder Test

Description:
We have introduced how to set the speed of right and left motor by PWM value of D9 D10.
But how to get the specified speed? Well, we can test it using the motor’s built-in Hall encoder.
In this project, you will learn how to calculate the specified speed by the number of pulses got from Hall encoder within 100ms.

Source Code:

//TB6612 pins
const int right_R1=8;    
const int right_R2=12;
const int PWM_R=10;
const int left_L1=7;
const int left_L2=6;
const int PWM_L=9;

const int PinA_left = 5;    // set the left motor’s pulse pin to D5
const int PinA_right = 4;    //set the right motor’s pulse pin to D4

int times=0,newtime=0,d_time=100;   // time, new time, time interval
int valA=0,valB=0,flagA=0,flagB=0;    //variable valA and valB for calculating the number of pulse

void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  
  pinMode(right_R1,OUTPUT);    // set the TB6612 pins to OUTPUT
  pinMode(right_R2,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(PWM_R,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(left_L1,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(left_L2,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(PWM_L,OUTPUT);

  pinMode(PinA_left,INPUT);    // set the pulse pin to INPUT
  pinMode(PinA_right,INPUT);

}

void loop() 
{
  //both motors turn forward
  digitalWrite(right_R1,HIGH);
  digitalWrite(right_R2,LOW);
  digitalWrite(left_L1,HIGH);
  digitalWrite(left_L2,LOW);
  analogWrite(PWM_R,100);   //write into PWM value 0~255（speed）
  analogWrite(PWM_L,200);

  newtime=times=millis();     //make newtime and times equal to the time the program runs to here 
  while((newtime-times)<d_time)    //if less than the setting d_time，always loop
  {
    if(digitalRead(PinA_left)==HIGH&&flagA==0)   // if detects HIGH
    {
      valA++;      //valA plus 1
      flagA=1;
    }
    if(digitalRead(PinA_left)==LOW&&flagA==1)    // if LOW
    {
      valA++;     //valA plus 1
      flagA=0;
    }
    
    if(digitalRead(PinA_right)==HIGH&&flagB==0)
    {
      valB++;
      flagB=1;
    }
    if(digitalRead(PinA_right)==LOW&&flagB==1)
    {
      valB++;
      flagB=0;
    }
    newtime=millis();        //newtime equals to the time the program runs to here
  }
  Serial.println(valA);      // print out the value of valA and B
  Serial.println(valB);
  valA=valB=0;             //set to 0
}

Test Result:
Installed well the balance car, upload the source code and power on; turn the slide switch ON.
Then open the Arduino IDE, set the baud rate to 9600, the serial monitor will pop up the number of pulse got from Hall encoder within 100ms ( correspond to left and right motor).
See the figure below.

}

Test Result
Installed well the balance car, power on and upload the source code to the board;
Turn the slide switch ON.
Then open the monitor of Arduino IDE, set the baud rate to 9600.
The serial monitor will pop up the number of pulse got from Hall encoder within 100ms ( correspond to left and right motor).

Project 7: MPU6050 Test

Description:
When DIY the balance car, should obtain its posture at first. The most used is through accelerometer and gyroscope.
In theory, only need two-axis accelerometer (Z-axis in the straight direction and the Y-axis along the moving direction of the car) and a single-axis gyroscope (the angular velocity in the X-axis direction of the car wheel are calculated).

In this project, we use the built-in MPU-6050 chip of keyestudio balance shield to test the data of the three-axis accelerometer and the three-axis gyroscope, printing out it on the serial monitor.
The acceleration range is +-2g; the gyroscope range is +-250°/S.

How to use Kalman filtering to calculate the angel?

What’s Kalman filtering ?
Kalman filtering is an algorithm that uses the linear system state equation to estimate the state of the system through the input and output of the system.
Since the observed data includes the effects of noise and interference in the system, the optimal estimate can also be seen as a filtering process.

Accelerometer data cannot always be trusted 100% due to original data acquired by the MPU6050.
Why?
The accelerometer measures the inertial force, which may be caused by gravitational force (ideally only gravitational), but it may also be caused by the acceleration (motion) of the device.

Therefore, even if the accelerometer is in a relatively stable state, it is still very sensitive to vibration and mechanical noise.
That is, the individual number of inclination angles obtained by using the value of the 3-axis acceleration is erroneous, and the error is large. Then you need to use a gyroscope to eliminate any accelerometer errors.

But how is this done? Is there no noise in the gyroscope?
The gyroscope is not without noise, but because it measures rotation, it is less sensitive to linear mechanical motion (the type of noise the accelerometer is subjected to).
However, the gyroscope has other types of problems, such as drift (does not return to zero rate values when the rotation stops).

Nonetheless, by averaging the data from the accelerometer and the gyroscope, we can obtain a better estimate than the current device’s tilt angle obtained by using the accelerometer data alone.

Therefore, in order to obtain a smaller, more stable angle, we need to perform Kalman filtering on the inclination angle θ calculated by the acceleration and the measured angular velocity value θ' of the gyroscope.

In this project，we use Kalman filter to calculate the balance angle and angular velocity of the balance car, displaying the tested data on the serial monitor.

Project 9: PID Principle

Description:
The Proportion of deviation, Integral and the Differential are linearly combined to form a control quantity, then control object by this control quantity. Such a controller is called a PID controller.
In analog control systems, the most common control law for controllers is PID control.

The block diagram of the common analog PID control system is shown below.



The system consists of an analog PID controller and a controlled object.
In the figure, r(t) is a given value; y(t) is the actual output value of the system;
control deviation e(t) equals the given value subtracts the actual output value.
e(t) = r(t) − y(t)

e(t) is the input of the PID control; u(t) is used as the output of the PID controller and the input of the controlled object.

So the control law of the analog PID controller is follows:

• Kp: the proportional coefficient of the controller;
  
• Ti: the integral time of the controller, also called the integral coefficient;
  
• Td: the differential time of the controller, also called the differential coefficient.
  

(1) Proportion part
The mathematical formula of the proportional part is: Kp×e(t)
In the analog PID controller, the proportional link is to react to the moment of deviation.

Once the deviation occurs, the controller immediately produces a control action that causes the control amount to change in the direction of decreasing the deviation.

The strength of the control depends on the proportional coefficient Kp.
The larger the proportional coefficient Kp, the stronger the control effect, the faster the transition process, the smaller the static deviation of the control process.

However, the larger the Kp, the more likely it is to oscillate and to destroy the system stability.
Therefore, the selection of the proportional coefficient Kp must be appropriate to achieve a small transition time and a small and stable static difference.

(2) Integral part
The mathematical formula of the integral part is:

From the formula of the integral part, we can know that as long as there is a deviation, its control effect will continue to increase.

Only when the deviation e(t)=0, its integral can be a constant, and the control effect is not a Increased constant.
It can be seen that the integral part can eliminate the deviation of the system.

Although the adjustment function of the integral link will eliminate the static error, it will reduce the response speed of the system and increase the overshoot of the system.

The larger the integral constant Ti is, the weaker the accumulation of the integral is. At this time, the system does not oscillate during the transition.
Increasing the integral constant Ti can slow down the elimination process of the static error, and the time required to eliminate the deviation is also longer; however, can reduce the amount of overshoot and improve the stability of the system.

When Ti is small, the integral action is strong; oscillation may occur during the system transition time, but the time required to eliminate the deviation is short. Therefore, Ti must be determined according to the specific requirements of actual control.

(3) Differential part
The mathematical formula of the differential part is:

In addition to the desire to eliminate static errors, the actual control system requires an accelerated adjustment process.

At the moment when the deviation occurs, or at the moment of the deviation change, not only the immediate response (the role of the proportional link ) is required, but also the appropriate correction is given in advance according to the trend of the deviation.

In order to achieve this, a differential link can be added to the PI controller to form a PID controller.
The role of the differential link is to prevent changes in the deviation.
It is controlled according to the trend of change (speed of change). The faster the deviation changes, the larger the output of the differential controller, and the correction can be made before the deviation value becomes larger.

The introduction of differential action will help to reduce the overshoot, overcome the oscillation, and stabilize the system, especially for the high-order system, which speeds up the tracking speed of the system.

However, the effect of differentiation is sensitive to the noise of the input signal.
For those systems with higher noise, the differential signal is generally not used, or the input signal is filtered before the differential action.

The effect of the differential portion is determined by the differential time constant Td
The larger the Td, the stronger the effect of suppressing the variation of the deviation e(t);
The smaller the Td, the weaker the effect of its resistance to the deviation e(t).

The differential part obviously has a great effect on the stability of the system.
By appropriately selecting the differential constant Td, the differential action can be optimized.

Project 10: Upright Loop Adjustment

Description:
In the previous project, we have introduced how to use MPU-6050 chip to calculate the inclined angle and angular velocity value so as to control the car’s balance.

In this section, we will set about to balance the car upright on a horizontal plane via PD (proportion and differential ).
However, if placed on a slope or pushed slightly by hand, the car will accelerate in the inclined direction and fall down.
The corresponding inclined angle value can be printed out on the serial monitor.

Upright balance principle:
The self-balancing robot stands upright on two coaxial wheels.
The gravity center of robot’s structure design is not on the axis center of the two coaxial wheels and the air flow effect, it will fall in one direction when standing.

To prevent the robot from falling down, it is necessary to add a suitable opposite direction force in the falling direction.
This suitable reverse direction force is provided by a DC geared motor that drives two wheels.

How does a gear DC motor provide a reverse force?
The connection between the self-balancing robot body and the wheels is equivalent to a hinge. Figure below is a simplified diagram of a self-balancing robot.

If the wheel accelerates to the right, due to the effect of inertia, the center of gravity of the body will be subjected to a leftward inertial force F.
Just like on the car, if the car accelerates, the person on the car will lean backwards.

But how big is the force in the opposite direction?
Now we come to analyze the force of the self-balancing robot body at an oblique angle θ.

From the force analysis, we can get the Force balance equation below：

So can turn into the restoring force of robot:

From the force balance equation, the reverse direction force is determined by the acceleration a of the wheel; the magnitude of the acceleration a is determined by the inclination angle θ of the robot body.
Thus, if we know the angle of the inclination angle θ, and then control the value of the acceleration a according to the magnitude of θ;
It seems that the self-balancing robot will not fall down, that is, a negative feedback control.

However, it is difficult for the robot to stand upright and stably through simply adjusting the acceleration a by the inclination angle θ.
Because the value of a is difficult to adjust to the exact value, which is often greater than the appropriate value. So the robot tends to the other direction, swing back and fort in the vertical position, with a larger amplitude.
To stabilize the robot return to the vertical position as soon as possible, you need to increase the damping force.

Supposed that the negative feedback control is that the wheel acceleration a is proportional to the inclination angle θ, and the ratio is k1. That is:

Linearize the formula:

because the inclination angle θ is relatively small, get:

The increased damping force is proportional to the speed of the declination;
The factor of proportionality is k2, and the direction is opposite.

Then change the formula into:

Then can get the final arithmetic of wheel acceleration a:

θ: inclination angle  ; θ': angle speed
K1; k2: the factor of proportionality.
It is also Kp and Kd in the PD algorithm adjustment of the robot upright balance described later.
Up to now, in theory, the balance robot can be balanced upright.

Project 11: Speed Loop Adjustment

Description:
We have introduced before that can adjust the angle to balance the car on the almost horizontal ground by controlling the PD.
However, if subjected to external forces or on a slope, the car can't keep balance because there is an error in speed. So you need to adjust the speed of the car for balancing.
Therefore, a speed measuring module is required.

The motor we used comes with a Hall encoder for speed measurement.
Based on the previous lesson, add a PI (proportional and integral) control to adjust the speed. In this way, it is possible to control the car to be balanced even if it is on a slope.

The speed loop here is positive feedback, which means that if the car is going backwards, then the car will move forward at a faster speed.

To be specific, if gently push the car with hand, the wheel of the car accelerates in the direction of pushing, that is, the direction in which the car is tilted, so that the tilt angle of the car is reversed in the opposite direction, that is, contrary to the direction of pushing; the car will accelerate in the direction of tilting, and the speed is accelerated.

The PI adjustment of speed just offsets the previously generated dip angle, and returns to near the initial equilibrium point without falling.

Principle and function of PI regulation:

; // speed loop control

Adjust the speed with the proportional parameter (kp_speed), so that the car can quickly approach the required speed;
Adjust the accumulated value of the speed error with the integral parameter (ki_speed) to eliminate the static error.

For example:

Supposed that there is a water vat, ensure that the water level in the vat is maintained at a height of 1 meter forever.
Suppose the initial water level is 0.2 meter, then there is an error between the current water level and the target water level, and the error is 0.8m.
At this time, you want to control the water level by adding water.

If simply use the Proportional control algorithm, the amount of water added (u) is proportional to the error. That is, u=kp*error

Supposed kp=0.5, t=1 (add water in the first time), so u=0.5*0.8=0.4 , should add the water quantity of 0.4m; now the current water level should be 0.2m+0.4m=0.6m
Then t=2 (add water in the second time), this time water level 0.6m, error 0.4m, so should add the water quantity u=0.5*0.4=0.2 ; now the current water level should be 0.6m+0.2m=0.8m

Followed by this calculation. The water level will reach 1m.

But there are some shortcomings in such single proportional control, one of which is – steady state error!

Like the above example, depending on the value of kp, the system will eventually reach 1 meter without steady state error.
However, considering another situation, suppose that there is water leakage in the process of adding water to the water tank. It is assumed that the water of 0.1 m height will be missed every time the water is added.

Supposed kp=0.5, after several times of adding water, the water level in the water tank will reach 0.8m, the water level will not change again! Because the water level is 0.8m, the error =1-0.8=0.2m.
Therefore, the amount of water added to the water tank is u=0.5*0.2=0.1m.
At the same time, 0.1m of water will flow out from the water tank every time. The added water offsets the leaked water, so the water level will not change!

In other words, the target water level is 1m, but finally the water system reaches 0.8m and not changes. The system has reached stability. The resulting error is the steady-state error.

Therefore, separate proportional control does not meet the requirements in many cases. So we need integral control algorithm.

From the above example, you can find that if only use proportional control, may exist the Transient error, so the water level will be only 0.8m.
In control, we introduce a component that is proportional to the integral of the error.

Therefore, the proportional + integral control algorithm is:
u=kp*error+ ki∗∫error

Here we still use the example mentioned above.
The error of the first time is 0.8, and error of the second time is 0.4. At this point, the integral of the error (in the case of discrete, the integral is actually accumulating), ∫error=0.8+0.4=1.2. The amount of control at this time, in addition to a part of proportion, another part is a coefficient ki multiplied by this integral term.

Since this integral term will accumulate the previous errors, the steady-state error can be well eliminated.
(assuming that in the case of only proportional terms, the system is stuck in the steady-state error, i.e. 0.8 in the above example. Due to the addition of the integral term, input will increase so that the water level of the tank can be greater than 0.8 and gradually reach the target's 1.0.)
This is the function of integral term.

The balance car will stand upright on the desktop.
Then open the Arduino IDE, set the baud rate to 9600, the serial monitor will pop up the inclined value of balance car.


Remove the USB cable and balance the car upright on the ground.
If you push it gently by hand, the car will advance in the direction you push, but the tilt angle of the car is opposite to the direction of the push, so the car will return to the balance point without falling.

Project 12: Steering Loop Control

Description:
The steering of the car also needs to be adjusted by the PD.
The balance robot is driven by the left and right motor speed difference to eliminate the deviation from the center of the road.
By adjusting the direction of the balancing robot and adding the balancing robot to the forward motion, the distance difference between the balancing robot and the center line can be gradually eliminated.
This process is a proportional P process, so the differential control of balance robot generally only needs simple proportional control to complete the direction control.

However, since the robot car itself is equipped with a relatively heavy object such as a battery, it has a large moment of inertia. It may occurs steering overshoot phenomenon during the adjustment process. If it is not suppressed, the balance robot will oversteer and fall down.

According to the experience of angle and speed control mentioned above, in order to eliminate the overshoot in the direction control of balance robot, it is necessary to increase the angle differential D control.

Project 13: Bluetooth Control

Description:
In the above projects, you have learned how to balance the robot upright; how to use the Bluetooth APP to control the balancing robot.
In this project, let’s move on to combine these two functions. To begin with, control the balance robot stand upright; then make the robot move in different directions using Android Bluetooth control.

However, due to the errors caused by the installation and the mpu6050, there may be a phenomenon that go fast and easily fall down or slow to turn back or can’t move. The solution please refer to the project 12 and the second section mentioned below.

Notice:
The balance shield comes with a slide switch for Bluetooth communication. When upload the code for testing, must turn the switch OFF; or else, uploading fails.
When connect to Bluetooth module, should turn the switch ON.

Use Method:

• 1）installed well the balance robot, upload the test code;
  
• 2）pull out the USB cable, then turn the power control switch of shield ON.
  
• 3）the balance shield comes with a Bluetooth switch; then turn the switch ON.
  

Refer to the project 6 on how to connect the Bluetooth module.

• 4）Open the APP to connect Bluetooth; if Bluetooth connected, place the balance robot on the ground to make it stand upright.
  

Then tap the Button key , you can control the robot go front, back, turn left or turn right by tapping the direction arrow icon.

• 5）press the key ，you can also control the robot moving by gravity sensing system( must carried by your phone).

Adjusting Balance Angle and PID by Bluetooth APP

Description:
In the previous projects, we were able to control the car's upright balance and movement.
However, due to the error caused by the car installation and the mpu6050, the mechanical balance angle of the car is not perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
Thus when using Bluetooth controls the car’s forward or backward, its tilt angle is small and the wheel is almost motionless or moves slowly.
When controlling the car’s backward or forward, its tilt angle is very large and the wheel speed is very fast, so it is likely to accelerate over a certain distance and fall down.
In order to reduce these errors, we can adjust the mechanical balance angle and the main parameters of the PID through the mobile APP.

How to use the Bluetooth APP?

1) follow the method mentioned before to upload the code to control the balance car move.
2) set the tilt angle. When controlling the balance car, the front and rear speed of the car are not the same, so there is a deviation. Then click the key , get a tilt angle. Shown below.



If get a negative number, type a positive number on the change bar, so that the negative number plus the positive number equals to nearly 0.
Then click the key , control the balance car move and observe the moving state.

3) You can also press the PID on the Bluetooth APP，to set the PID parameters，then tap other keys to adjust the PID parameters, making the balance robot stable.

Or refer to the moving state of balance car under different parameters.


Settings finished, press the key to return to the control interface.

Project 14: Adjusting Balance Angle and Bluetooth Control

Description:
In the above project, we first connect the Bluetooth and then adjust the balancing angle of car on the Bluetooth APP.
Now, we first adjust the balancing angle of car by hand; then connect the Android Bluetooth to control the car moving via Bluetooth APP.

Notice:

• 1)Thew balance shield comes with a slide switch for Bluetooth communication. When upload the code for testing, must turn the switch OFF; or else, uploading fails.
  

When connect to Bluetooth module, should turn the switch ON.

• 2)Using the source code of this project, can only adjust once each time starting up; must adjust the angle first, or else the car can’t keep balance.
  

Source Code:
Note:Before test the source code, do remember to add the corresponding library.

How to use ?
1)installed well the balance robot, upload the test code;
2)pull out the USB cable, then turn the power control switch of shield ON. Keep the car balance; when the motor rotates, press the button key 13, and buzzer will make a “tick”. In this case, the car is adjusted well.
3)follow the Bluetooth control methods mentioned above; connect the Bluetooth module to make the balance robot run using APP.
Refer to the project 6 on how to connect the Bluetooth module.
