Product Details
The Double Inverted Pendulum module is composed of a rotary arm that attaches to the Rotary Servo Base Unit, a short 7-inch bottom blue rod, an encoder hinge, and the top 12-inch blue rod. The balance control computes a voltage based on the angle measurements from the encoders. This control voltage signal is amplified and applied to the Servo motor. The rotary arm moves accordingly to balance the two links and the process repeats itself.
- Double pendulum comprised of a 7-inch aluminum link connected to a 12-inch link
- Double Inverted Pendulum module easily attaches to the Rotary Servo Base Unit
- High resolution encoders sense rotary arm and pendulum link angles
