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)

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 ).
