Heading Stabilization of a Track (Differential Steering) Robot using Compass Angle
Hi All, I’m new to RobotShop Forum. This is a video of our latest addition to our Rover project. we purchased our rover this past spring and my grandchildren and I spend Sunday afternoons, playing with it’s design. We this this approach to heading stabilization may be a bit unique and thought it might be fun to share.
Thanks, Jim

Thats very cool! So are you using a heading-hold gyro like you would see in R/C helicopters/planes?

Edit: NM I just saw that you are using a compass :wink:
