I did another batch of Furuta pendulums and took a timelapse of the assembly:
These were done in a bit of a hurry, and nothing was changed from last time. At some point I'll probably do a refresh of the design, though. After building 16 of these, I have a bunch of ideas about things I'd like to do differently, and I've gotten a few feature requests from the recipient as well.
Thank you for showing this. So much tea ;)
ReplyDeleteDo you give these as gifts or sell them somewhere? I can't imagine you'd need 16 for personal use.
ReplyDeleteThey were built for the controls department at a university.
DeleteCan you elaborate on what you were looking to do differently in a redesign? Inspired by your blog and wanting to learn more about controls, I am taking a crack at a Furuta pendulum design.
ReplyDeleteJust things to improve manufacturability - motor, encoder, and slip ring related mostly.
DeleteI see. Thanks for the reply.
