Wheelie Cheat Device?

Thanks to everyone that watched more than 6 seconds of this video!! To the others, thanks for the wheelie advice 😂

The software brings the nose down? You've turned your bike into a 737 MAX 8.

these minecraft building tutorials are getting harder and harder

The easiest way to do a wheelie for me is just riding my unicycle.

Do it like a cruise control, you pull a wheelie then press a button to set the angle, then the electronics take over and maintain that angle

The world needs more engineers like you. Hands on and educated.

Why is your rear brake lever on the left? :o Does everything have to be left-hand drive in the UK? :D

Hey Tom, Might be worth logging the way you do a wheelie first - by taking the data from the accelerometer and a potentiometer on your brake handle. This should get your native wheelie angle and brake force applied, once this data is obtained you could match it with your servo or even continue to use the POT to match a force applied to the brake with the servo. Obviously this is in no way dynamic like the segway as it will be matched completely to your wheelie profile.

Try to go uphills with that (:

Add a potentiometer on the steeringwheel to adjust the balancing point on the fly?

I think it could be done completely automatically if the control system was operating the motor rather than the brake, and was able to sense the amount of torque applied to the motor compared to motor position. Comparing wheel torque with both angular and linear acceleration should allow a controller to differentiate between forward movement and tilt change. In this way, the controller could seek the angle at which required torque is minimized. It would not be that different from other self-balancing devices.

Youre going to need to filter the sensor values to smooth the result

It's a wheelie good idea Tom!

Its amazing to see how much you have developed from here until now. From being new with arduino and unsure with coding to your later videos where you have been using arduino in your VTOL aircraft. Great stuff, from a proud patreon

I love playing with IMUs, it’s so satisfying playing with your creations when it’s orientation dependent

If you can measure the speed, and then calculate the rate of the change of speed - acceleration of the bike, on top of the angle sensor, you have enough information to compensate for all of those "balance torque, including the riders arms", weird angles (the angle it's mounted no longer matter when you only measure rate, but you still want it to check it's not zero due to "both wheels on ground" I guess) stuff you were talking about... when you have acceleration = 0 and the rate of change of angle = 0 then all those dynamic torques/weights/etc are in balance. if the rider leans forward, then the angle rate increases, and to zero that out, the bike will need to accelerate, which means non-zero acceleration... Drive your control system to zero both out, and you have balance. You can drive "break only" with the same control system, was just easier to talk about assuming perfect rear wheel motor power output control. I hope that made sense.

No Way!!! I've been working on this exact concept for a few weeks now and you beat me to it!! Anyway, I love the videos man keep it up!

Dang. That is one advanced wheeliebar...

Bro reinvented the name "civic with a laptop", now it's "bicycle with a laptop" 🤣

I think the solution is to monitor the rate of agular change not set an absolute angle, this would give allot more flexibility , not to mention it wouldn't pull the brake when you go up a hil :p
