Controls

Working inverted pendulum

A page for the physical model, control logic, tuning process, and the messy parts of getting an unstable system to stand up.

What this was

Describe the model here: the cart or base, pendulum structure, sensors, actuator, controller, and how the system moved.

Design notes

Add notes on feedback, stability, sensing noise, motor response, code structure, and how you tuned the controller.

What I learned

This section can hold the real story: what failed, what changed, and what finally made the pendulum behave.
