2.2.11 Balance
Because PiDog is equipped with a 6-DOF IMU module, it has a great sense of balance.
In this example, you can make PiDog walk smoothly on the table, even if you lift one side of the table, PiDog will
walk smoothly on the gentle slope.
Run the Code
cd /home/pi/pidog/examples
sudo python3 10_balance.py
After the program is running, you will see a printed keyboard on the terminal. You can control PiDog to walk smoothly
on the ramp by typing the below keys.
