This is the source files of an auto-balancing platform for my Final Year Project. Eventually, this project ended up in the negative result because of the limitation of L298N motor drivers and linear actuators. For some reasons, I used 4 linear actuators to make rotational motions in Roll and Pitch angles of the platform, but it would be better to use servo motors.

The position coordinates (x, y) were successfully extracted from the frames. Source code is in FYP directory and OpenCV for C++ should be installed externally.
This VS project includes the source files for serial communication, but only sendCommand in SerialComm.cpp works. readCommand can receive a character from Arduino using Serial.print(char) in ino file, but not string.
