Have you found a good alternative tool?
I've been using the Segway mini for years and think it's amazing, it hits all those things you mentioned.
Its only problem is that it's no longer sold, and mine is starting you show its age. My wheels and battery need changing, but I'm not sure if anyone can actually do that anymore.
So I'd really like another option...
- Animats 3y agoThe Segway, at least originally, had considerable redundancy in the control system. I think they had four gyros and four accelerometers arranged in a tetrahedron. If you have four set up that way, you can get out info for all three principal axes, plus an error value that indicates sensor trouble. So failure can be detected quickly. Does the one-wheel have that?
- gnicholas 3y agoThe original Segway had 5 gyros! [1] 1: https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/engines-equipment/ginger.htm#:~:text=Sensors%3A%20The%20Segway%20uses%20five,included%20as%20a%20safety%20precaution https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/engines-equipmen....
- Animats 3y agoYeah, Dean Kamen had enough engineering experience not to build a human-carrying vehicle one sensor failure from a faceplant.
