Self-balancing robots are a great way to get into control systems , sensor fusion , and embedded programming . This build by mircemk  shows how to make one with just a few common components , an Arduino , and a bit of patience fine-tuning the PID . controller At the heart of the bot is the MPU6050 a combo accelerometer gyroscope sensor that keeps track of tilt and movement . An Arduino Uno takes this data , runs it through a PID
