Design and Implementation of Low Cost Inverted Pendulum Structure

The main aim is the stabilization of inverted pendulum by making an economical structure. This is done by designing an inverted pendulum structure, control mechanism and motor driving circuitry. The other main focus is to enable horizontal motion of pendulum while being oscillating about its axis. Conveyor mechanism is used to fulfill that requirement.The last objective is to create a Personal Computer (PC) based Graphical User Interface (GUI) and inter-communicating hardware using a microcontroller. The GUI design must provide a convenient interface with the hardware which will allow the user to set the position of pendulum and also to plot its response.
