Arduino Speed Hoverboard conversion

In this Video i show a detailed view on the Two Hoverboard tanks i build a while ago.

What an awesome work 👍👏 Greetings from Egypt 🕊️🇪🇬🕊️

Anybody want to hack two boards with a controller for me £200 I will supply all the parts needed and can even go through eBay to make the sale

[@OvidiuMarin]

You just got yourself a new subscriber mate ! Nice video !

[@alexvanrijn4753]

Hello, do you do any freelance work? Would love to talk with you about a build I would like to do for my special needs son...

[@JonnyWaldes]

I gave up trying to find hackable hoverboard controller and just purchased 12-60V BLDC driver boards with encoder input,. Wish me luck.

[@leewareham4529]

Did you get it working?

[@Fender90]

You did a great job! This is the most complete and informative video on hoverboard arduino control yet! Thank you very much! Keep up! Cheers!

[@nueschtsNutzername]

Eigentlich war ich lange auf der Suche nach einem geeigneten Boostedboard für mich, aber Dein Video hier lässt mich gerade komplett umdenken. Danke dafür!

[@atc1441]

Sehr gut. So soll es sein :D

[@Vaishnavan.C]

Great work..!! Can you please help me out I would like to build 2Wd robot as you did. Did you have any github repo for Transmitter which you build? .Thanks in advance...

[@shavkat84]

I have like 10 hoverboards laying around i need to find how you made remote control work with main board

[@Fender90]

By the way is it safe to turn on the RC transmitter before turning on the hoverboard mainboards? Does the car "run away" in case you don't strictly follow the turn on sequence? In my case my platform started driving on its own and didn't react to any commands from the RC transmitter if I turned on the devices in wrong sequence :-)

[@atc1441]

thank you my friend. I have the Arduino nano in between which also has some kind of fly away security enabled so it shouldn't drive away but as you can see in the video I was holding my hand on the tank just in case

[@Fender90]

@@atc1441 Do I get it right that the only thing you changed it the platformio config was to set the control to -D CONTROL_SERIAL_PROTOCOL and define the USART port you wanted to use?

[@youliantroyanov2941]

Too cool 👍

[@marwinthedja5450]

Sehr schöner Build! Die Frenbedienung @ kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4LCdp6inbB1r80 ist der Hit ! Schon super wie die Massenfertigung von eigentlich relativ komplexer/teurer Hardware und Niklas Engagement einem ermöglicht solche Projekte relativ leicht und erschwinglich umzusetzen. Vor 10 Jahren hätte man locker 3x mehr Geld/Zeit investieren müssen!

[@atc1441]

Die fernbedienung ist von hier www.thingiverse.com/thing:3133640 dann aber noch für das st7789 display etwas abgeändert. Leider ist der billig joystick nicht gut, siehe dazu mein anderes video.

[@TheLordbruh]

congratulation!! do you guys have a procedure that has at32f403rct6 chip?

[@pauld1241]

Hi, my hoverboard motors just vibrate when I try and control them via arduino or potentiometer. I tried this with two differents ESCs. Would you happen to know a fix to this?

[@MootazAli-o8o]

great job i have few Questions if you may please answer me 1- i have Connect the Rc Receiver Data pin to Arduino Pin 3 so what pins are the outputs for speed and Steering wires? 2- i have use this code for my arduino uno is it ready code? or i have to edit some thing because i upload it to the arduino but not working gist.github.com/atc1441/b8ece541c12da30ee4f52acabb919b02 Thanks,

[@chriswf]

Do you recommend 1 joystick over 2 for steering this way?

[@electronicstv5884]

Cool

[@milestone_achiever4634]

Does an Arduino work with any controller?

[@claudebethel9316]

How much do you charge to rc a hoverboard?

[@machine2003]

Hi it such a great work I need to know what type of the joystick you use with 2 wheels drive and from where to buy

[@smileynialley9404]

Hi, I’m looking to do something similar but don’t have the technical skills you do. Would you be able to help me figure out the RC side of things as it’s to power my R2d2

[@atc1441]

Hi, thank you for your interest, please watch the other part of the hoverboard, that should help you, i can not give you direct support for it sorry

[@juanmakabayan6577]

Sir can you guide me on where to connect the pa2/tx and pa3/rx on my esp32 receiver? How about the 3.3 vcc and negative pins from main board to esp32? Thank u so much in advance.

[@atc1441]

Hi please read the other comments I already answered this :)

[@LifewithLewy]

I would like to know the name of the control you are using. I would like to buy one

[@andycascade]

As I remember arduino espberrypi has only 1 UART, how did you connect 2 hoverboards to it?

[@atc1441]

On Arduino they can be connected in parallel. On raspberry you could create one software UART

[@andycascade]

@@atc1441 Thanks, mate!

[@andrewkennett940]

Do you have code to control your bot with a ps2 controller?

[@atc1441]

Hi. No, but you can search for exaples for ps2 and adapt it yourself into my code

Mich würde die Dynamik der Motoren mit der "Custom-Software" interessieren. Für maximale Dynamik müsste ein abtourendes Rad gebremst werden und im Stillstand kurzgeschlossen sein (lässt sich dann nur schwer von Hand durchdrehen). Die original Hovertboard-SW liefert höchste Dynamik und echte Drehmomentsprünge, sowie geringste (kaum messbare / wahrnehmbare) Umschaltzeiten Vor/Rück. Das geht leider aus den ansonsten gut gemachten Videos nicht hervor. Ich bleibe daher skeptisch was die "Custom-Software" angeht... Ich habe das für mein 4WD-Projekt anders gelöst, indem ich direkt die Motorcontroller mit einer USART ansteuere, wobei die SW auf dem HB-Motorcontroller unverändert ist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJCQi3epf7-br7s

[@atc1441]

Moin, die Motoren mit der Custom Software haben eine sehr gute Dynamik, du kannst von voll speed vorwärts auf voll speed rückwärts gehen. dies kann man hier relativ gut sehen: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH6UdYhubNqdm6M dort aber mit nur 25% leistung aktiviert. Die Firmware ist sehr umfangreich und kann auch gut editiert werden um auch z.b. das Aktive Bremsen mit einzubauen. Also ich kann es wirklich nur empfehlen anzusehen.

Nice job. Need help - I have two hub motors on the front side, but they move with different speed when they are connected to same arduino and power supply.
