How does an inverted pendulum work?

[zhiling0229]

Hi guys,

I'm working on an inverted pendulum on my project. But sad to say I have no idea how it works.

I used a camera and a pendulum attached on a dc brushless motor to run it. But is not responding quick enough.

Is there any other method that I can used to make my inverted pendulum work?

Thanks

You can use an encoder instead of camera. I think dc motor is good idea.
