Virtual Ball in a Torus

Arduino UNO

Solderless Breadboard Half Size

NeoPixel Ring: WS2812 5050 RGB LED

6 DOF Sensor - MPU6050

<p >This small Arduino construction reproduces the mechanics of a ball kept inside a torus. By moving the Arduino board itself across the 6 dimensions, the ball virtually circulates inside the torus. </p><p >The behavior is calculated real-time by the processor, based on classic mechanic equations, using moment of inertia.</p><div class="se-component se-video-container __se__float-none" contenteditable="false" style="width: 100%;"><figure style="width: 100%; height: 56.25%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0px;"><iframe frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k5dkkXRLZqw" data-proportion="true" data-percentage="100%,56.25%" data-size="100%,56.25%" data-align="none" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" data-index="0" data-file-size="0" data-origin="100%,56.25%"></iframe></figure></div><p >The whole system is calculated via a classic mechanic equation based on inertia momentum.</p><div class="se-component se-image-container __se__float-none" contenteditable="false"> <figure style="margin: 0px;"><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/8867ec85-3bdc-4acc-8f84-c65a6fd4d26b.png alt="" ></figure></div><p ><span >More information on the equation can be read on the GitHub project page </span><a href="https://github.com/guyplusplus/Arduino_Virtual_Ball_in_Torus">here</a><span >.</span></p>
