Hacking a Hoverboard

This video details my journey so far into interfacing with a hoverboard.

Just to update, I was planning to follow this video up with a part two but unfortunately with the virus I've been unable to make it home to continue. Hopefully in the near future things will clear up and I can keep working on this!

super

The boards can be controlled via PWM, USART, i2c & iBus.. I'm assuming you're passed the hurdles now but PWM signals seem to be the easiest.. majority of people are using a simple potentiometer connected to the control board to test the wheels, with ease.

Cool project! can't wait to watch a follow up

[@gabrielarnoux7732]

Good project, I'm interesting for an arduino gyro mpu 6050 specific control. Have you found a solution, now?

[@mihapeterle204]

i do recomend esp32 and beatifuly documented well done

[@rosaviakosmos]

please give a link to a similar project that you found on the Internet

[@PunchnamI]

Perfect!

[@embeddedmicrocontroller]

Thank you

[@franzitheduck5914]

Good job !!! Please make a second video to control the Hoverboard and show us the code

Hi, I would like to get in contact with you to understand how to set up hoverboard motors if you’re available. Thank you

[@kenhelix4494]

Hi Chris, are you still working on this project - possibly you have just moved on? I too have been interested in doing the same as the hoverboard motor drivers are matched to the motors. I have used other electronic 3-phase drivers on these hoverboard motors with limited success as I find the motors resonate at a certain speed which cripples their speed. I also considered reprograming the on-board chip, which many people do, but that is an irreversable step. Alberto Technologica from Brazil (in Portuguese) has done what you set out to do successfully (uTube) but I haven't been able to translate/understand completly his approach with the necessary confidence to get started. Just thought I would share some thoughts?

Envie o código do projeto na descrição do vídeo...

[@DM-os2fh]

What maximum RPM?

[@ianbrrws]

hi does anyone here know if its possible to get rid of the over speed "push back" feature on a ninebot mini pro i have made a wheelchair conversion but the push back is making it dangerous.thanks

[@adeebazadsheriff]

have you written any code for this project?

[@faithfultennysonidama6904]

wow nice i wanna make a DIY electric car (a project but am still doing my research) am not a coder thats gonna be a big setback for me

[@parkerdedrick8967]

Where have you been

[@mikaelbjornson2666]

The hoverboard doesnt use gyroscopes. It uses bilateral load cells to define the pressure from each foot.

[@Saif-zf9vb]

The gyroscopes keep the board balanced and self correcting. It doesn’t determine the speed.

[@upload58404]

Good job. Show us the connection please

[@embeddedmicrocontroller]

Watch hoverboard motherboard you may get more details

[@MastahFebby]

May you share your journey to me?🤔

[@user-gq6vf6hx5r]

💪⚒🌺

[@RobertHarrisMIB]

Sorry dude, i thought I was a geek, until I saw your video....i am an idiot. Damn, that sucks.

[@goodmorningtraders7815]

WOW 👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏

[@cooltchemobility]

nice jop super

[@mrbiggs110]

Your going at this the wrong way bro. 🤫let me know if you want me to tell you a short cut.

[@rikzuijlen3203]

He wants to know it, tell us 😅

[@Xhand712z]

Hi any link on your idea. I need help

[@issamasoud1769]

Hey my hoverboard it has problem

[@issamasoud1769]

Can I get your WhatsApp no# ???
