The basic idea...

"The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers on the Internet can read, redistribute, and modify the source for a piece of software, it evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing...
...The Open Source pages exist to make this case to the commercial world."    - Introduction to Open Source - www.opensource.org

* Balanduino Android App

market download * NOTE: This app is only useful if you have the Balanduino, Balancing robot from TKJ Electronics.

This is the official Android app for the Balanduino robot from TKJ Electronics.

It also allows you to adjust the PID values wirelessly, see the IMU data on a graph, information about the robot and change different settings like the maximum turning and moving speed.
