WHEELTEC First-Order Linear Inverted Pendulum Kit

The WHEELTEC First-Order Linear Inverted Pendulum Kit is a highly capable control theory training platform designed for students, educators, and control engineering hobbyists. Featuring STM32-based processing and support for classic PID and LQR algorithms, this kit provides a hands-on way to study dynamic stability and non-linear systems. It is an ideal resource for university laboratories and advanced makers looking to master complex robotics control.

Advanced second-order linear pendulum

The IP870 standard edition features a second-order linear inverted pendulum system equipped with a secure table clamp. It supports advanced LQR control algorithms and comes with fully open-source code to facilitate deep academic research and development.

Patented first-order pendulum designs

The IP570 series offers both first-order linear and first-order rotary inverted pendulum configurations to suit different experimental setups. This linear inverted pendulum design is officially authorised under Chinese utility model patent number 201921344557.1.

Classic control theory application

Inverted pendulums represent typical multivariable, non-linear, strongly coupled, and naturally unstable systems. This kit enables practical dynamics analysis and algorithm testing, using PID and LQR control to achieve reliable, cost-effective stabilisation.

Comprehensive hardware specifications

Depending on the model, the kit is powered by either an STM32F103RCT6 or STM32F103C8T6 main control chip, paired with MG513 or MD36N_P5.18 motors. It includes a 0.96-inch OLED display, a Type-C serial port for easy one-key programming, and robust core board protections against short circuits, overcurrent, and static.
