What we need:
and all that in Karachi, the hub of Pakistan :)
Cost -high Rs. 50,000 maybe more... but certainly not this:
Enough has been said on gyros and accelerometers by everyone who tried making a balancing vehicle/robot. First thing ordered is the IMU Combo Board - 3 Degrees of Freedom - ADXL203/ADXRS613 from creative electron, a sparkfun distributor here in Pakistan.
What actually restricts the design are the motors. Motors capable of carrying a person's weight are not really easy to find, it's wise to find the motors and make your design around it. Here's what's possible
-Wheelchair Motors (110 - 120 rpm) - can be trusted for carrying a person
-Survey Shershah scrap market for geared motors (unreliable, impossible to find two motors exactly same)
-Use motors,chain-sprocket used in electric scooters
- Wheels
- Motors
- MEMS Accelerometer & Gyroscope
- Motor Controllers
- Batteries
- Lots of nuts&bolts,transistors,resistors,diodes,microcontrollers....
