Bill of Materials

Now let's tackle the serious things. I will present the list of components that I chose for do my segway. 
I'll explain my choices and if necessary I will give you the price of each component. 
In the download area you can download the BOM as xls file

 

Microcontroleur Arduino board :

Manufacturer : Arduino            
Qty : 1
Price : 21€ / 26$
Documentation : arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoLeonardoMicro?from=Guide.ArduinoLeonardo
Description : For the microcontroller, I chose an Arduino board. These cards are not expensive, there are many sensors that are proposed to interface and there are many librairy software function which already exists. Also the Arduino boards are widespread in the world and a lot of people talking about these cards on the forums. It was not really a criterion choice for me, but the programming interface is very simple and can be taken over without a problem for a beginner. 
The characteristics to be taken into account in the card selection: 
- Frequency: 16MHz is a minimum.
- minimum I/O pin : 2 x PWM / 3 x A/N / 6 x I/O num. 
- low power consumption.
- 5V and 3.3V regulator integrated on the card. ( For powering the sensors )
- It is not the case for this card but an input voltage of 24V would be better (one less regulator to buy).
