HOVERBOARD MOTHERBOARD HACK - how to change the firmware to use different controls PART 1

[@amremam8937]

Be careful , Some chips has read protection options. if it's protection 0, you can remove the flag without a problem if it's protection 1, once you remove the read protection, the flash will be erased if its protection 2, you cannot remove the flag

Finally did a re-flash of the firmware with the correct file. File link shown in the video descrition does not produce the required results. File link shown in reponse to my query is the correct file of the firmwarre. Motors responded to the joystick commands. Some issues: 1. The motors starts with a slow speed even at the joystick centre position. (Does it need any calibration or zero setting?) 2. There is no reversing of the motors when the joystick is pushed backwards. 3. On switching OFF, the board does not go Off, the buzzer keeps beeping intermittently. Subsequent pressing of the switch has no result. Had to disconnect battery supply to stop. Any help will be appreciated.

[@A-tech]

ok I will have a look into the link on the description, ye i found the same when using a joystick on its own, thats why i used the arduino to remap the signals, i dont know of any calibration, also with the reversing i found trying to reverse full throttle doesnt work but just a little bit is ok, so i mapped that out too, the power off thing may have something to do with taking the 3.3v from the board, im not sure exactly, i take the 3.3v from an arduino so that might be whats causing it, hope this helps

@@A-tech Checked and double checked, conclusion never take anything for granted :-) Found the cause, it seems that the board came with the sensor connectors soldered inverted being that the black wire was 14V and the red wire was ground. This for both sensor connectors. As the colors of the wires were matching I did not look any further. I was quite fortunate that I did not blow the ports of the cpu. I soldered the connectors as they should be (matching colors with ground and 14V). All works fine now. So lesson another lesson learned today. Cheers

the modded motherboards are a lot cheaper, around £20, and if your recycling a hoverboard its an extra part you can use, hope this helps

[@LifewithLewy]

A-Tech well the hoverboard i had, when I opened it up it has no motherboard at all. Only the two sensor boards. So that leaves me having to buy something. Most of the motherboards I see online here are more like $50-90 USD. So if money was not a factor would there be any benefit in using the motor controller vs the motherboard? Or would the end result essentially be the same?

[@A-tech]

sorry for the slow reply I have only just seen this, motor controller vs motherboard, the settings in the motor controller would most likely be better for fine tuning things, like more options possibly, the motherboards are designed to run hoverboard wheels but I dont know how optimizable the firmware is, if you had to buy the parts you might be best off with the speed controllers because you could use them for other things in the future

ok i think you need to double check your wiring, are you using potentiometers?

[@Diygenes]

@@A-tech Yes, I've put two 10k with gnd and 3.3v and green and blue wire. When the green wire is unplugged and sitting on the bench it does something odd, when I touch it with bare hands, it turns off the board

[@Diygenes]

@@A-tech It would help you if i give you the board version number? I want to put this board and motors on my wheelchair

[@A-tech]

@@Diygenes hi, i think its v2, thanks

[@cristianbarlescu3404]

Thank you for the video. I've seen other tutorials where is required to have the battery connected to the mainboard with a minimum of 36V on it and also to add a jumper on the power switch. In your video, I see that you are using only the programmer. Is that enough to flash the new firmware?

[@A-tech]

hi, yes i also saw that, apparently it can loose power during uploading but i have done 2 now and no problems using just the 3.3v from the ST-LINK, thanks

You inspired me to build an RC wagon for my baby boy & would like to build a cart with joystick for my parents as they are getting up there in age & a motorized wheelchair is expensive. Wondering if I can get a little help with the firmware. Reprogramming. I've built a pc before, so I have little experience in this field. Thanks a bunch.

[@A-tech]

hi, have you seen part 2 of this video? it may answer some of your questions

[@JuanMarin-sx3rt]

I'm in the process of downloading the software. Is the correct name STM32cubeIDE? A little confused. Thank you.

[@A-tech]

@@JuanMarin-sx3rt hi, i think its just called stm cube programmer, I think it was in a folder with lots of other files too

[@JuanMarin-sx3rt]

@@A-tech thank you 👍

[@JuanMarin-sx3rt]

hello, I sawdered header pins, uploaded stm32 cube programmer, connected wires to header pins & st link v2, however, unable to connect to software. wires are connected to 2,4,6,8 as indicated on your video. Mother board beeps when plugged in to computer. Am I missing something?

Hello, Fisrt of all you have made great job!! I am building with mz kids some scooter based on your project. I have uploaded your firmnware, but i have difffrent sound from speaker and I don't know how to turn it off..... Power button don't respond. I can only turn on. When I turn it off I get few beeps, but after that I can't turn it on once more. Can zou help me?

[@A-tech]

hi, did you get this working? i think there may be different versions of the firmware, were the potentiometers connected up? thanks

@@A-tech i made it working, the problem was, that the engines weren't connected ... :)

Después que instale este firmware mi placa sólo dura 10 segundos encendida que hago

[@A-tech]

ok, puede ser que la batería tenga poca carga, si la carga y aún lo hace, puede intentar tener un interruptor de bloqueo en lugar de un interruptor de botón para la alimentación, he oído que las personas lo hacen con buenos resultados, gracias

[@INNOX20]

@@A-tech uso una fuente de alimentación no una bateria

podría ser un corte de seguridad, ¿tiene alguna otra cosa conectada o no conectada? ¿Están conectados los motores, los sensores y el control de entrada?

Can anyone make these work with a remote controller i have a project and $ but not the brains

[@kenmcmullan9330]

Why can you change READBACK. The idea is supposed to be that the manufacturer flashes is such that it can't be read back. If it was a simple as setting a flag to allow read back, there'd be no real point in "protecting" the chip.

[@A-tech]

they did not protect it very well

If there is anybody working with the razor branded splitboards I'm in need of assistance finding software for them?

[@A-tech]

im not sure about them, do they have the 2x smaller motherboards instead of the 1 big one?

[@danielmcgee813]

@@A-tech Yes it is the micro boards instead of the big one Oh and I am also having issues with one of the big boards but I will explain more next time I try to work with it

[@A-tech]

ok i havnt tried anything with them yet, will hopefully get a new board with them soon, as far as i know the connections are the same ye no problem

[@danielmcgee813]

@@A-tech well the one thing I will tell you is that more than likely all the hoverboards have gone over to that model of manufacturing The only reason I know this is because I have been collecting hoverboards for a little while now and everyone of them have had the split board design...... but luckily enough they all have a spot 4pins

[@A-tech]

ok that is pretty handy, i take it they still run on stm32?

[@GEARSinc]

Dumb Question.... If I wanted to purchase a hoverboard to hack this way, it would have to have the correct motherboard. I can't imaging they are all the same. How do I choose a correct brand/model to ensure I get one I can hack with this code?

[@A-tech]

that is a good question, what i look for is the 4 groups of wires at the bottom, the 4 pin charge connector and 4 capacitors at the top, here is a link to the last one i bought that was ok : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113821955450
