Here’s a fun project, learn how to build a one-wheeled self-balancing skateboard!
Well, one thing I don’t like here is that it’s self-balancing. As a skateboarder, this doesn’t make any sense as self-balancing will take out any fun.
Also, many people have tried to build self balancing robots with 2 wheels. There are many on the web. If you do this using a gyroscope, accelerometer, microcontroller and geared motors from a robotics store, you will spend almost the same amount of money as this machine cost to make. The mechanical parts are kart based and often available on ebay. Some robotics mechanical parts are pretty expensive. I thought if I was going to do the “self balancing” thing then I might as well make a robot I could ride!
