Hello Claude,

What about using this sensor to measure field generated by a small magnet
fixed on the pendulum ? But perhaps the Kmz51 is too sensitive and would
saturate ?

Our KMZ-51 magnetic field sensor (which we used as a compass on
http://www.convict.lu/Jeunes/RoboticsIntro.htm ) may be used for detecting
deviations from the vertical. It is very sensitive. But before use we must
check the sensor-response to the vertical earth-magnetic-field. This will be
our next test-unit.

Hi Philo,

thanks for the suggestion. No longer than yesterday we made our first tests
with the magnetic-field-sensor (MFS) based on the KMZ51 placed VERTICALLY.
The results are very, very interesting. Not only did we find an amazingly
simple way to fix the local inclination of the earth magnetic field, but we
may also affirm that this MFS is usable as an extreme sensitive
inclinometer. So it can surely be applied to measure the deviation of the
inverted pole.

Have a look at the results at http://www.convict.lu/Jeunes/RoboticsIntro.htm

Developing our inverted pendulum project we tested today the power of the vehicle which we designed for the purpose. It looks like the Acrobot, but with twice the first part, so that each wheel is powered by a motor. Both motors of one side are (...) (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
