Stabilix is a spin-off of the self-balancing robot project called B-ROBOT EVO created by JJ Robotics.
It is a platform for experiments with different sensors and algorithms. The robot is able to balance itself on two wheels and move around avoiding obstacles. The robot is based on ESP32 and it is remotely controlled using a smartphone via Bluetooth.
The robot is based on ESP32 microcontroller and it is remotely controlled using a smartphone via Bluetooth. The robot is equipped with the following hardware components:
- 1 x MPU6050 - 6-axis accelerometer and gyroscope
- 2 x NEMA17 stepper motors
- 2 x A4988 stepper motor drivers
- 1 x ESP32 microcontroller
The robot is powered by a 7.4V LIPO battery pack. The battery is connected to a voltage regulator that converts the voltage to 5V. The 5V is used to power the ESP32 microcontroller and the stepper motor drivers. The stepper motors are powered directly from the battery.
The robot is assembled using 3D printed parts. The 3D models are available in the 3D_models folder. The robot is assembled using the following parts:
| Part name | Quantity | Link |
|---|---|---|
| 3D printed parts | 1 | Thingiverse |
The robot is programmed in C++ using Arduino IDE. The code is based on the B-ROBOT EVO project created by JJ Robotics.
