The program

Next Project: Ball bot

Beschreibung:	What's next after balancing in one dimension? Balancing in two, on a ball! This is work in progress. Right now it can stand upright (sort of) and maintain direction, but not very elegantly yet. More tuning needed. I will publish more details when it's doing better.

I've written RoboPro sub-programs for a 2-dimensional Kalman filter that seem to work fine. Not sure how difficult it would be to get the timing right. Timing is critical as you're doing integration over time (from gyro-measured rotational speed to angles). Regards, Willem Evert.
