Hi all! This is Eddie. He is a very small self balancing robot that was inspired by SparkFun Electronics for making really cool building blocks and Intel for making the Edison. From SparkFun I used the Edison Battery Block to power Eddie. The 9DOF Block for inertial measurements. A Base Block for terminal access and the OTG port for the USB camera. And finally the Dual H-bridge Block for controlling the two motors. The motors and wheels came from Pololu. I went with 200 rpm high power micro metal gearmotors and 60mm wheels on this first build. More build details can be found on the instructions tab:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:655423/#instructions With the 400mAh battery, USB camera streaming video, his run time is about 1 hour 15 minutes. Eddie can be remote controlled via WiFi. His programming is under development and source code is available on github: https://github.com/r3n33/EddieBalance Demo video:http://youtu.be/XQCCbod4Lm4 Remote control test video:http://youtu.be/i16xHtEtRII Print two motor brackets and one of each of the remaining files. The tray was just something basic and is totally optional. The arms are attached with M3 screws. The motor mounts and the Edison blocks use M2 screws. I'm currently waiting for a shipment of M2 screws, standoffs, nuts so how to attach the boards will be up to you for now.

There are still a few left: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310599343436 And the first and only software I've tested with the camera (so far): https://github.com/drejkim/edi-cam
