M5STACK BALA-C ESP32 Development Mini Self-Balancing Car
BALA-C is a DIY dual-wheel balancing car kit. BALA-C uses the STM32 series chip, two motor driver ICs, and is also equipped with a rechargeable replaceable battery. It incorporates a lightweight design with 360° servos. It’s possible to use the UIFlow graphic interface to program the balancing car.
An M5StickC is included in the package. The BalaC maintains its balance with the help of mpu6886. The real-time compensation of the servos is controlled by calculating the offset value to achieve the purpose of balancing. A LEGO-compatible design allows you to change different tires. If you want to learn about PID or need an interesting programming toy product, BALA-C will be a good choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I charge and replace the battery?
The BALA-C kit includes a rechargeable, replaceable battery pack with its own charging circuit. Simply connect a 5 V USB power source to the car’s charging port. To replace the battery, slide it out of its holder and insert a fresh pack of the same specification.
Which programming environments are supported?
This self-balancing car is optimized for UIFlow graphic programming via the M5StickC interface. Advanced users can also deploy MicroPython scripts on the ESP32-Pico-D4 or write custom firmware using the ESP-IDF framework.
How do I change the wheels or tires?
The BALA-C features LEGO-compatible wheel hubs. To change tires, detach the existing wheel from the servo shaft, align a standard LEGO tire or custom wheel on the hub, and press firmly until it snaps into place.
