1-axis Reaction Wheel

More on V2 CAD
I did more cad on the desig and printed out all the materials, I just needed to add mounting hole for the pcb and design the pcb!

V2 CAD
THe cad for V2 of my reaction wheel is almost ready, just need to add battery mounts and as well as pcb mounting holes. My motor have arrived, so I am excited to add it into the CAD. Hope for the best!

Working On V2
The v1 reaction wheel with DC tt motor without any encoder made the wheels turn and adjust without knowing its speed, making it really hard to control it precisely. Without the encoder, the motor is effectively blind, that is why I am working on a Version 2 for my reaction wheel project. Using a Nidec 12v motor and a lighter from, I hope the system will be more responsive and achieve self balancing.

Build Log
Today I finish soldering components on to the perfboard with a small exception of a 3 pin xh2.54 connector for the battery. The IMU I am using is work pefectly and I hope I can finish shipping te project by next week! Hope for the best!

Build Log
I finish printing all components today and have already started building it, all parts are in place and I plan on soldering components tomorrow.
Wish to ship it by next week!!

9/16 Build Log

I am almost finished with the CAD design and components that I ordered are commin over the weekend, I will be start building and shipping over the weekend!

9/15 Build Log
I made design the CAD for my one axis reaction wheel deisgn, quick and easy,hopefully I can get it done this week!
