A Design for Self Balancing Scale Model Bicycle

Abstract

This research will describe the development of a self-balancing scale model bicycle. The main reason for just using a scale model instead of a full-size bicycle is to reduce development costs while maintaining the same design principle and software coding. For the hardware we are using a 1:10 metal bicycle model, Arduino Uno board for real-time balance control, GY-521 amp; MPU 6050 for real-time gyro and 3 axis accelerometers, and servo motor for weight balancing movement. 5-volt Li-ion battery power bank used for a power source. For coding, we use Arduino IDE for windows.
