This project is a PID-controlled beam that self-balances to keep a ping pong ball stable. I tried to limit the use of Arduino libraries to keep the code as simple as possible, as well as make it relatively easy to port to other platforms.

• C++
• Arduino
• SolidWorks
• 3D Printing

• Arduino IDE
• SolidWorks
• 3D Printer
• Arduino Mega 2560 (or another Arduino board)

To get a local copy up and running, follow these simple steps:

• Clone the repository

  git clone git@github.com:dgobalak/BalancingBeam.git

• Open the fw_beam Arduino sketch in your Arduino IDE
• Upload the fw_beam sketch to your Arduino Mega 2560
  • You can use other Arduino boards, but you may need to re-assign the pins in the fw_beam sketch
