Gallery > DIY Segway

Under the guidance of undergraduates at MIT, students from Wayland High School, John D. O'Bryant School of Math and Science, and Cambridge Rindge and Latin School built a working two-wheeled, self-balancing scooter--much like the commercial Segway devices. The invention is controlled by a PIC microcontroller board based on the Machine Science XBoard. It interfaces with a computer for programming the chip or viewing sensor values in real-time. Although a laptop is used for debugging, the Segway itself is controlled entirely by the microcontroller. For more information, click here.
