| Summary: | This paper presents an exploratory evaluation on how
to build an electric unicycle vehicle controlled by using the
Arduino board development. For electric unicycle, it will move
forward when the user lean their body forward and vice versa.
The discussion is majorly includes the way to achieves the
stability with the help of the latest electronic sensor technology
called gyroscope and accelerometer. The gyroscope will read any
changing of angle while the accelerometer is used to detect any
changing of acceleration the unicycle exerts. As both sensors
tends to produce noise and disturbance, this thesis also discussed
the use of Kalman Filter that will combine the data from both
sensors to produce a better and accurate data. All the
information are then processed by Arduino board controller that
acts as the brain of the unicycle system. The Arduino IDE
software is used to write the coding to determine the unicycle
action based on the information received. The data outputs then
are analyzed by displaying them on “Serial Chart” software that
will creates a line chart based on serial monitor set on Arduino
IDE. This software helps the researcher to observe any unwanted
noise in the data and perform a correction upon the problem.
Moreover, the discussion are also includes on how to use
“SketchUp 8” software to design the unicycle body frame. All the
consideration in the sketching then are used for real hardware
making that used high power electrical machine. So, there will be
also the discussion on mechanical works that includes a series of
drilling, grinding, cutting, sanding and others process. By taking
all the measurement, the experimental results confirm that the
resulting system meets the design goal which to design an electric
unicycle controlled by using Arduino and to create a stable
electric unicycle with the latest technology. |
