THERE ARE MORE PRESSING MATTERS ON GROUND e.g The Nursing and Midwifery council of Nigeria has not issued certificates to Nursing graduates since 2023!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People are stranded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the worst drivers to use for hoverboard motors or hub motors or basically hall sensors brushless DC motors especially if you need something with good speed control 😅😅😅. I saw different shades of hell. Plus the quality control is ass..

Dear algorithm, please 🥺 make this post available to all robotic and hardware engineers 🥺, let's connect 😁.

I swear bro. So many "tech"meetups that ice attended only to get there and get absolutely bored from software dev and web3 talks guyyyy... The whole embodiment of tech has been narrowed down by Nigerians to just web dev and fintechs.

ZS-X11H drivers can reach sufficiently high rpms which is the only thing I like about them. You may want to consider trying to create a close loop speed control algorithm for it using the speed pulse signal as the hall sensors are only used for commutation

Avoid this sensor (AjSr04M) if you value your mental health, I'm begging you 🙏😂...

Beauty is one very important aspect of engineering and that beauty is very very far from this thing I built 🥲🥲... This is why 3d printing and PCB design is very important....

You start a project with with beauty and functionality in your mind, as you progress and start running into series of problems and frustrations 😂😂🥲, that beauty starts becoming the last thing on your mind 😂. This pic was taken few hours to a presentation.

I prefer using these hub motors from hoverboards for wheeled robots because they are not so expensive for the torque they produce compared to standard direct drive brushless motors and are "not so difficult" to control. Only downside is the encoder resolution

The bulk of robotics is about solving problems or creating work-arounds🥲. I rewrote the code more than six times just to solve these oscillations. The oscillations were as a result of things I thought didn't matter like buying clones e.g (Bno055) IMU.

See the bastard here 🥲. A clone bno055 IMU. Don't get me wrong, the original one by adafruit that uses Bosch component is very good. I went for BNO055 because it ouputs fused data at 100hz and I didn't want to bother myself with sensor fusion 😕.

Two self balancing robots... Which of these 2 do you guys suggest will be or was easier to balance?? 🥲😂😂... I designed and if I'm to be honest, the one with the stepper motors (Nema23) was more difficult damn! Algorithm, do your work 😊

If una like, make una nor reduce the price of raspberry pi 5 boards. You guys effing increased the price by a whole 70 percent... A very big applause 👏👏👏🙌 It's so bad that the pi 5 16gb is more expensive than an Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano...

I am PATIENTLY waiting for the price 😂😂... It's the price that'll determine my next step

What the hell is that on the right?? I will always dislike catfish 🥲... Na trauma dey make people chop catfish ... But you see the one on the left, may God nor let them use it to kidnap me

Before you sign any document, take a picture of the blank pages too. People add things after signatures. This is common.

Tadaaa!! 🙂. Changed the IMU from bno055 to mpu6050, did the sensor fusion in code. Another culprit that caused oscillations was the high loop frequency (400hz). 1/400 = 2.5ms loop period .The odrive takes almost 2.5ms alone to return wheel velocity data

The stability is quite good 😊😊. Tbh honest, I never expected it to be this stable after suffering while tuning it 🥲🥲. Emmanuel Ekiomado trusted it enough to put his laptop on it 😂😂... Trust that even I that built it don't have 😂😂...

200 pages of what? 200 blank pages, absolutely yes!!! But definitely not 200 pages of state estimation 🥲. My brain is already toast by the third page and I'm questioning my life choices damn!!

Me: Buys a hoverboard 😊 Me a few moments later 😂😂😂. Hacking the living daylight out of it 😊😊
