Nicely done! Gonna read that paper and watch part 2 now :) also, if you were to post update videos like this on YT as your weeklys, i feel ppl would love them. For me, i mainly come for your creative solutions and engineering insites. The more heavily edited videos are great, but not always needed IMO.

Exicted to see how this works out!

Thanks Andre! It's also more enjoyable to properly research a topic and make something decent at the end. Shoot me a message if you need some Arduino stepper help! I've spent the past week or so solidly coding and think I somewhat have the hang of it now haha. Cheers

Love this stuff Tom and defo worth not posting as often to make more ambitious projects (even if I wasn't a patron). Will try to pick your brains some day about steppers as I'm doing a full scale RC paraglider. Just doing one full analog joystick on the ground at the moment but want to make an electronic one in the near future :) keep up the great work

Yes that was a consideration, but I think there might be some issues. For example, if both wheels were to lock/slide or the rear wheel leaves the ground, the comparable speed might give an incorrect baseline velocity/deceleration. I'm not sure whether this is used in a car or not for stability management, so I'll need to do some more research into that. Thanks!

Love it Tom. Is there no way to sense the speed of both wheels and compare them to get a baseline from which to make a decision about a locking event? Just a thought - maybe too complex or flawed in some way. Either way, bikes need this tech, so keep it up!
