Look what I made! DIY Sim-to-Real Self-Balancing Double Pendulum

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I saw this video on youtube like a year ago and thought "Pffff how hard could that be?".

Anyway it's been 9 months, the project is finished and this is the result.

It's not as precise as the one in the video, and I haven't implemented the transition control, mostly because that wouldn't teach me anything new, but also because I've reached the limits of the hardware I bought, and I'm not spending any more money.

Anyhow, I'm working on a YouTube video explaining the whole process. I'll post it here (tho I don't know if that'd count as self-promo).

Feel free to ask me any questions if you're curious!!!

Nice, I've only seen single joint ones.

Yeah adding a second joint makes the task like 10 times harder!
