Build a one wheel skateboard that balances itself.
Forward and reverse capabilities.Control the speed and the direction
of the skateboard by shifting your weight forward or backward
Learn more about various electrical components
Programming of microcontroller
Design the skateboard and identify the needs, both electrical and mechanical.
Understand how the OSMC motor controller works.
Understanding how the Arduino works. Programming: how to acquires different
inputs from sensor, how to treat the inputs to get the desirable outputs.
Building the board itself Testing and calibration
Identified needed components to acheive our goal.
Understanding the functionnality of the Open Source Motor Controller and microcontroller.
Programming the arduino board. Make the motor reacts with the change
of angles given by the accelerometer. Implementing safety measures.
OSMC : control the motor power and direction
Arduino: control the OSCM and motor speed
Gyroscope: convert physical signal to analog
Motor: 24V,ungeared DC motor, 4000rpmapprox .70 horsepower (MAX)
Go kart wheelBearingsSprocketsChainHubsAxelSheet metal (frame)Angle irons
Motor turns as a function of the change in angle
Board doesn’t start until leveled If the angle is too great the board
cuts off and needs to be leveled again to regain its functionality
If the occupant falls off, the board will stop once leveled
Occupancy sensors that act like an on/off switch.
Lighter versions to maximize efficiency.
Knob to set the sensitivity.Knob leveling control (be able go
uphill / downhill ).
