Jared's Ride Isn't Fly, but the Steering's Perfect

So he always stays on course, Jared designed a mechatronic device that simulates perfect steering in an automobile. The small-scale, single-wheel model determines the speed of wheel rotation from the magnitude of the curve it's traveling. It works by setting the initial speed of a PIC-controlled dc motor, then uses a manual-input turn radius to vary the speed of the motor and advance a PIC-controlled stepper motor one visible step (7.5 deg) in the specified direction.
