nice work showing us all that you done with this. It's a lot sturdier solution for a robot than a worm gear motor and surprisingly, a lot cheaper as well.
Im using two 5200 mah 40c 11.1 lipos in series to control this, but the motor needs a slight push before it starts spinning, got the same results when i tried powering it with a 35 v PSU,any idea why i need to nudge the wheel abit for it to start spinning?
Sir, i try the code and it's work when i see at the serial monitor there's a step count. But the motor wont spin att all any idea what's wrong ? Thanks
i have a few questions, first one being what do i do if i want to use this with an ebike, i'd have to ocnnect it to a 36V battery but in the previous video you mentioned it would fry it up, loooking for a solution. second, is it possible to do the same using an arduino nano or uno
I'm currently working on this issue. I've got two wheels to spin....pretty easy, but the code doesn't allow for a lot of fine control.......I really have been trying to get six of these working together with the mega....We'll see
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?
I have built this project. However, with an ebike controller. The motor runs as it should with a potentiometer. If I give a PWM signal with an Arduino to the controller, the motor runs very irregularly. Do you know what the problem could be?
Great 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. Any suggestions on how to ensure the wheels move with same speed if they are moving just forward or backwards. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, what's the minimum power able to be applied with this control board? With the speed pot set at the smallest value to enable the controller output can the motor be powered but not enough to overcome the friction and turn?
Is there specific a reason why you set the Signal wire to the pin#3 of the Arduino ? I do not succeed to figure out why, but it seems the pin#3 is the only connector where it works.
Hi I am doing same project using Odrive and hoverboard wheel, with Arduino and I have connected all connection but somehow I am unable to move wheels could you plz help me
That is the problem with this board. There are no breaks. That is why it is not suitable for most robotic projects. You have to build electronic Regenerative Braking, please google it or buy a board that has built in breaking.
Hi! thanks for the video! I have some questions. Could I control the time that the motor is spinning instead of the steeps from the hall sensors? I want to modify your code in order to achieve certain rpm (speed) and certain spinning time (steeps). I want to regulate it with 2 pots, one for the rpm and the other for the spinning time. It´s possible? Thanks in advance!
There is no electric break. If you are on down hill it will continue to move until you are on level ground. This is the reason I was unable to use it for my Trash Can project.
Question on motor controllers. I recently bought from ebay 4 hoverboard brushless motors i belive they are 36V 350W 6.5 inch - with the intention to build my own robot rover but i never played with brushless motors before. I like to be able to control them using Rasberry Pi eventually and/or Arduino. The controller(s) have to be able to interface with Raspberry Pi or Arduino. From an initial research i found 3 types of controllers ranging from very cheap China ones to 150 Euro Odrive. I intent to have the motors connected in pairs, left and right so that the rover turns by spinning/trurn left and right like a tank. The ask is which is the best controller for these type of motors so that i can have no freewheel when they stop on a slope and i can have reverse and won't t cost me an arm and a leg?
@@netmedias7657 thanks for this even if is the most expensive solution i think i will go with ODrive too. One thing i am not clear. My motors are 36v and odrive comes in 24v and 48v variants. Would the 48v variant have an adjustable voltage output to bring it down to 36v?
@@TheNikolasNick Sorry I meant to say use 24v not 48v. You can not regulate the voltage on this board. Your hoverboard motor will work with 24v mine does.
Hey Thank you for this great tuto. Do you think is it possible to detect the direction of the wheel using the "m1_Signal_hall" ?. I'd like for exemple to have "pos++" if it is running forward and "pos--" if it is running backward.
Hello, thank you for your response. I tried to do so, but it seems that whatever the wheel goes backward or Forward, the hall sensor give a value High/Low depending on its previous state only High/low.
Hello, I bought the controller card in your description, but the card is a different from the one you show in the video. Ports EL, Signal and Z/F are missing and Instead I have CCW, CW and PWM. I'am a beginner, so I couldn't figure out if my controller card can make the Job with the Arduino. Do you know if there is any correspondence between those ports? Many Thanks
Hello. I am trying control 2 wheels with an adaptation of your code. It works well but I have some issues of synchronization between the 2 wheels. Do you have an exemple of code to handle it properly? (i guess that it should use the hall sensors, but it’s quite hard to implement..). Many thanks!
Can you do a video exactly like this but instead of "Digital Write()" you work with Directly talking to the ports and register manipulation. Love the video, really awesome It seem like they run really slow, is their a way to adjust the speed? Changing the speed doesn't seem to really change it that much.
Hello @Netmedias. I have a problem. My setup only works if I push the wheel initially. I use UNO instead of Mega. If I don't push- the wheel does not spin. Is this faulty controller or some other issues? I tried another wheel from other hoverboard - same problem. Help. Thanks in advance
Hi, your tutorial was so helpful, but I'm having a problem with my motor. Everything works, the direction, the stop/start, but not the speed control. Whatever number I put in for VR the motor only spins at max speed. Do you know what could be the problem Thank you so much!
