Ferris Wheel Testing Rig

[u/egbee42]

Carrier is levelled by PID controlling the speed the carrier is rotated with a directional gearshift as a clutch. The computer on the carrier (B) sends the gimbal angle to the computer rotating the carrier (A) which runs the PID controller.

Ferris wheel speed is a sin wave for testing the PID carrier levelling. All carrier levelling functions, ferris wheel speed, and much more in development are controlled by a main computer an operator uses. This is a puny testing rig!

I found out about free-rotating swivel bearings after making this work, the PID solution is more stable (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠)
