About
This project is a mechatronics endeavor that blends mechanical and electrical engineering principles to create an innovative mode of transportation. The skateboard is designed to react to the rider's tilt, using an IMU sensor (MPU9250) to measure the Euler angle and an Arduino Uno microcontroller to process this data. This information is then used to control the speed and direction of a hub motor. Many Mechatronics and control concepts were used like I2C communication and Inverted Pendulum control to achieve the self balancing control.
