Overview

We were tasked with constructing and programming a Furuta pendulum, the goal of which is to hold the vertical arm up through horizontal rotation of the horizontal arm connected to the motor shaft. Essentially, there were two separate projects: constructing the physical pendulum assembly, and programming the PIC to control the motor so the pendulum would function.
