Mems Based Dual Axis Self Balancing Platform

DOWNLOAD ABSTRACT

AIM:

Design and Development of MEMS based Dual axis self-balancing platform.

PURPOSE:

Accelerometer can detect inclination of two axis like X and Y.  We can use it in may applications like satellites, automobiles, Robotics, Automations….etc. Here we want to design a new system that can balancing platform in two axis. Here proposed design title is MEMS based dual axis self-balancing platform using Arduino.

DESCRIPTION:

Arduino uno is heart of this project and it can drive entire system with the help of firmware. Two Dc motors controlled by L293d driver which are interfaced to Arduino digital pins. MEMS sensor (Accelerometer – ADXL335/35/MPU6050) interfaced to Arduino I2C port.

WORKING:

Balancing platform is a mechanical design which can move in X and Y axis. The main platform is in X axis and rotates with the help of DC gear motor. This is called X-axis platform. This X-axis platform attached to Y-axis motor and rotated with the help of another DC gear motor. MEMS sensor placed below the main platform which can detect both axis inclination. With the help of two motors, platform is in balance place by taking feedback of MEMS sensor. If we place any object on main platform, it will be in stable position without rolling down even total platform tilted.
