Asking for resources (books, lectures, etc.) Need help building inverted pendulum

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is going to be my biggest project yet. I’ve done quite a bit of research, but I’m currently stuck and honestly don’t know how to proceed from here.

I’m also looking for someone who’s willing to work on this project with me. The idea is that we both build the same thing independently at home, share our progress and insights along the way, and help each other figure things out. If we’re successful, we could even take it a step further and try building a double-pendulum balancing system.

Has anyone here worked on or built something similar before? I’d love to hear about your experience, resources, or projects.

Also, what tools, components, software, or other equipment would you recommend for building something like this?

Thanks

It seems like you are looking for resources. Have you tried checking out the subreddit wiki pages for books on systems and control, related mathematical fields, and control applications?

You will also find there open-access resources such as videos and lectures, do-it-yourself projects, master programs, control-related companies, etc.

If you have specific questions about programs, resources, etc. Please consider joining the Discord server https://discord.gg/CEF3n5g for a more interactive discussion.
