Hi thank you for your initiave and effort to show us how to connect the RC receiver to the board. I'm wondering if you have another video with an example on how to connect 2 boards with the RC receiver! Again, thank you a lot!
So I actually was going to do that on my first mower. The green one. But there was too much signal disturbance causing the wheels to jump forward and backwards. I believe as long as you add ceramic capacitors it will help.
after flashing, I connected my rc reciever like this, but it does nothing. I know the receiver works, cause I can connect up to a different project it works. when I turn on the hoverboard, I get a rising medly of beeps, instead if just a solid beep. if I just tap it on for just a moment it does the beeps, then the motors go forward and back a couple times then turns off. (a descending medly of beeps) any thought? how do I know the flash worked?
I have used both boards and not had an issue so far. I believe their are 250 watt or 350watt motherboards. Another thing is if you want to move a lot of weight you do not want to use big wheels. Small wheels are best. For moving weight. If you want your project to go fast. And not carry a lot of weight big wheels are best. Surprisingly with the big wheels I still manage to drive around almost 300 lb on two big hoverboard Wheels. But it did struggle. With the small wheels it had no issue.
@@automoto95 I don't think the color actually matters. But if you type in your search bar 350 watt hoverboard motherboard you should go find it pretty easily. I found some on Alibaba.
The red wire that I soldered to the chip. Is for power it is the +5 volt the black wire is -5 volt. The green wire is a signal. The blue wire is also a signal. I found it is easier to wire both black RC wires to the single black wire on the hoverboards motherboard then do the same with the red RC wires two to one the one to the chip.
@@speedox3771 its hard to tell in the video. I saw the circuit board diagram the red wire is the 5v, the blue is the TX, green is the RX and the black wire is the ground. But which wires go to which pins on the RC receiver. I want to connect it to a Flysky FS-iA6B Receiver. But I'm very new to the RC world. If you can help me know how to connect it correctly. I would greatly appreciate it . The reason why i am asking is I want to connect it to a lawnmower using the hoverboard only for the rear wheels and the front as just running on its bearings only. I have very bad allergies. This is why I'm very eager to get this project working soon. Can you make a video with a zoom on how to connect it to a RC. Can I use 1 or 2 pin jst connectors?
ok maybe you be able to advice thenn... I did build rc 4wd platform. 2 Boards. All is working fine but on ful lload (not on str8), only when using turns it simply freaks and cut power to 1 board. When the platform is on stands it operates perfect, but when driving and load becoming heavier it has terible problem to make turns sometimes (left wheels backwards right wheels forward). Sometimes I got feeling like on this channel RC used for turnes it when the wheels are powered they dont get enough power as u can hold a wheel with hand! Im thinking like the voltage is going to one board. I use 2 baterries (thought that 1 be not enough) in paraller. Ground and power from both boards are meetining very close to bateries (well one since they in paralel) . Am I making some basic electronic errors? Its just a hobby dont have much time for it so th project is taking me already 3 weeks lol.
Maybe. I have been working on adding ESP 32 microcontroller with a camera so I can control the camera and the yard mower with a ps3 controller.I am not good a coding & my memory is not so good either. Hopefully I will have the mower done today.
Hi nice video but sometimes hard to see what you are exactly doing. Do you have a drawling of the schematics and are you willing to send it to me and the community. Thanks.
Yes. It depends on the firmware that you flash to the hoverboard motherboard. Please check out my other videos I made a remote control lawn mower and bush hog.
I need to calibrate the voltage meter on my hoverboard motherboard but im not 100% shore what they mean in the code. Do you know how to do it? // How to calibrate: connect GND and RX of a 3.3v uart-usb adapter to the right sensor board cable (be careful not to use the red wire of the cable. 15v will destroye verything.). if you are using nunchuck, disable it temporarily. enable DEBUG_SERIAL_USART3 and DEBUG_SERIAL_ASCII use asearial terminal. // Battery voltage calibration: connect power source. see . write value nr 5 to BAT_CALIB_ADC. make and flash firmware. then you can verify voltage on value 6 (devide it by 100.0 to get calibrated voltage). #define BAT_CALIB_REAL_VOLTAGE 42.0 // input voltage measured by multimeter #define BAT_CALIB_ADC 1654 // adc-value measured by mainboard (value nr 5 on UART debug output) #define BAT_NUMBER_OF_CELLS 10 // normal Hoverboard battery: 10s #define BAT_LOW_LVL1_ENABLE 0 // to beep or not to beep, 1 or 0 #define BAT_LOW_LVL1 3.6 // gently beeps at this voltage level.

After watching 20+ videos just hoping to find just one that actually shows the RC pin out connections, I really thought i found one here! NOPE. Out of focus, out of view, ZERO description of anything. Perfect example of how NOT to make a technical video.
why are you using 5v for rc from that place instead of hall cable? right or left

Pues gracias para tu lección de soldar hilos y de poner tubos termocompresibles!
I appreciate your feedback. I'm no expert. I was just trying to give an example. have you checked out my other videos?
Great video.
Thanks!
I have seen a few different firmwares for the hoverboard.
Please, what new firmware have you used?
Could you put the link?
Thank you.
I will try to find where I got it from. Please check out my other videos.
@@speedox3771 Did you find the firmware?
@@luisbangueses I should have it tonight

It sounds like you’ve downloaded a demo where did you get the software?
Hi i got a question i seen on auctions there exist 2 diffrent pcb boards green and dark blue of that board with one is better or newest?

Is that set up for a ppm rc receiver?
Yes sorry for the video quality I never thought I would get so many views. Please check out this TH-cam link. th-cam.com/video/2Zg-sp9BD_g/w-d-xo.html
So that first 4 pin connector he soldering is the wire that would connect directly to the rc receiver?
The red wire that I soldered to the chip. Is for power it is the +5 volt the black wire is -5 volt. The green wire is a signal. The blue wire is also a signal.

@@bluecavemen do you have a servo?
@@speedox3771 what is the purpose of the servo?
The hall sensor is 5v at 100ma max the UART I used is 5v at 30ma max I didn't want to overload the hall sensor wires.

This is the video that started me down the rabbit hole. th-cam.com/video/qnQSL9DBPaE/w-d-xo.html
Will this doing steering as well ?
Thanks

Which firmware did you use and was it for steering ?
Please check out this TH-cam video.

Hi... Did u modify the firmware? Or what
th-cam.com/video/2Zg-sp9BD_g/w-d-xo.html
Good morning please check out this TH-camr. And please do not forget to check out the list of my videos thanks.
hello firmware link plise ? dowload link + RC receiver link?
What happened to it though?
I managed to install it on a bush hog.
I need to calibrate the voltage meter on my hoverboard motherboard but im not 100% shore what they mean in the code.
Do you know how to do it?
// How to calibrate: connect GND and RX of a 3.3v uart-usb adapter to the right sensor board cable (be careful not to use the red wire of the cable. 15v will destroye verything.). if you are using nunchuck, disable it temporarily. enable DEBUG_SERIAL_USART3 and DEBUG_SERIAL_ASCII use asearial terminal.
// Battery voltage calibration: connect power source. see . write value nr 5 to BAT_CALIB_ADC. make and flash firmware. then you can verify voltage on value 6 (devide it by 100.0 to get calibrated voltage).
#define BAT_CALIB_REAL_VOLTAGE 42.0 // input voltage measured by multimeter
#define BAT_CALIB_ADC 1654 // adc-value measured by mainboard (value nr 5 on UART debug output)
#define BAT_NUMBER_OF_CELLS 10 // normal Hoverboard battery: 10s
#define BAT_LOW_LVL1_ENABLE 0 // to beep or not to beep, 1 or 0
#define BAT_LOW_LVL1 3.6 // gently beeps at this voltage level. [V/cell]
#define BAT_LOW_LVL2_ENABLE 1 // to beep or not to beep, 1 or 0
#define BAT_LOW_LVL2 3.5 // your battery is almost empty. Charge now! [V/cell]
#define BAT_LOW_DEAD 3.34 // undervoltage poweroff. (while not driving) [V/cell]
You can also use the + 3 volt on the u- art . Just make sure you have a good solid connection.
bjr pouvez vous me dire ou trouvez le firmware . merci d'avence

Hi
Ok,si eres mudo y no puedes hablar no hay estrés, como mínimo pone algo de musica ambiental!
I’m actually working on a voice that I feel comfortable using. Just haven’t found it yet.
Pode me qjudar

I'm sorry about that I will try to do better on my next video.
