Hey 256bits thanks for the reply!
Yes you are right about the stepper motor being actuated by energizing coils. I now have a better understanding of how things are suppose to work, thank you!
So here is now my new idea for the electronic set up of the balancing motorcycle:
The tilt sensor will produce an error signal to the Arduino. The Arduino will contain a Stepper Motor Control code that will output a pulse generation to the motor driver (this is where I was confused before). Then the controller will send a correction signal to the motor which will rotate and torque the bike back to the proper position.
Of course I am open to any criticism and suggestions.
Current Goals- Connect sensor to voltmeter and get some readings
- Connect sensor to Arduino and get them to talk to each other
- Place sensor on known inclination angles to test linearity of sensor
- Figure out Stepper Motor Control code from Arduino Library
Will make updates as days go on.
