Overview
Project Goals Design Strategy Hardware Cost Listing Software Web Page Problems Current Status
Project Goals
To gain more experience with hands-on design
To enhance our ability to work well in a team environment
To become more efficient with communication skills
To design a gyroscopic pendulum
Design Strategy
Separate the workload into hardware and software
Build the physical portion first to maximize our efficiency
Use two portions of coding for the software: balancing and swing-up

Hardware Diagram
Encoder
Manufacturer: US Digital Specifications:
Optical quadrature 1024 CPR 5V DC (TTL) Set screw disc mounting .375 inch shaft

Encoder Theory
Encoder Theory (cont’d)
1. 45 degree offset LED pairs generate pulses.2. Pulses phases compared to each other to
determine direction.3. Counter incremented or decremented
depending on direction.4. Counter sampled into control system.

TOTAL COST: $233.87
Software
Interface: ServoToGo via MATLAB
Controls: Simulink
Completed: Balancing algorithm
Balancing Program
•Theta 1
•Shaft Position
•Theta 1 dot
•Shaft Velocity
•Theta 2 dot
•Flywheel Velocity
NOTE: May add integrating function for Theta 1 to avoid saturation
Web Page
•Based in FLASH 5.0 to incorporate media content
•Filled with information and drawings
Problems
The original shaft was made of hardened steel and was unable to be threaded
Coordinating meetings was difficult at times Problems with Windows / MATLAB
interface Hardware problems with ServoToGo board
Conclusion
The physical design and implementation of the gyrobot is complete
Current Status: The Windows/MATLAB interface problems have affected our progress with the software design
Next Step: Once the lab’s software issues are resolved, testing will begin
