BaBot: Build Your Own Ball-Balancing Robot——Base Board
Note from PCBWay: This page corresponds to the base board. For plate board, please check BaBot: Build Your Own Ball-Balancing Robot——Plate Board.
Bring control theory to life with BaBot, a compact, open-source robot that balances a ball in real-time using infrared (IR) sensors and an ATmega32U4 microcontroller. Whether you're a student, educator, or hobbyist, BaBot offers an engaging way to explore PID control, sensor integration, and robotics.
BaBot began as a high school project in 2018, initially using a computer and overhead camera for ball tracking. After several iterations, including a Raspberry Pi version with a camera beneath a transparent plate, I developed a more efficient design. The current version utilizes IR sensors and an ATmega32U4 microcontroller, resulting in a more compact, affordable, and user-friendly robot.
