I have a problem with finding new hoverboard 
i bought already 2 of them and both are with this newer hardware with separated boardsā¦ I this it will be impossible to run 2 motors in sync from 2 different processors where UART is a synchronization protocolā¦
Today I will try to buy another one but I am loosing hope
Can you buy just the control board for the hoverboard on ebay? In the US they are about $40-50. Might be better than buying hoverboards not knowing whatās inside.
I get the next one and finally it had correct electronic, this time I am adding additional antispark protection between battery and the board, I hope it will prevent future explosionsā¦
Hi @bula87 and @Vfear,
I have been following you guys on here and I am trying to get my DIY onewheel working a bit better with a flashed hoverboard motherboard.
I have no idea when it comes to programming, but what you guys have been talking about sounds awesome!
I can flash my motherboard. Do either of you guys have a working bin or hex file i can flash my motherboard with, that will work with either a flashed or original sideboard?
Thanks heaps
Has anyone implemented this on the split hover board ESC, or just the single one? I recently got a few hover boards with the split PCB, and am beginning to modify some code to work with them.
As I cant find another hoverboard with single motherboard I am thinking about using splitted version, no idea if synchronization between motors will be possible but worth to try
There are 3 projects that were successfully able to use the split ESC type. My ESCās look a bit different then the ones in this project, so Iām going to verify the pinout and then try to modify the code to work. https://github.com/flo199213/Hoverboard-Firmware-Hack-Gen2
Yes, I managed to flash this code and was working but every board is running only one motor, and for onewheel application they should be pretty sync, i didnāt try it yet but I am planning
Do you have a working code for the single motherboard with 2 side boards version?
I flashed mine, but now my onewheel doesnāt work and I canāt find a code to flash it with to make it work again
@bula87
I think these boards (1 main board) are the best choice, and the price is good in our city for $10
Lol why is that pictures look so funny to me 
Sorry I was at long holidays, but I am back, today I bought another hoverboard with single mainboard. I am giving it the last chance, if it will explode again without any reason I will give up and buy VESC 
Hello,
I have found this https://github.com/bipropellant/bipropellant-hoverboard-api . Has anyone tried to implement it for onewheel purposes? I am currently trying to find a way to use everything from hoverboard because prices skyrocketed for electronics and therefore there is no possibility to buy VESCā¦ It would be great if there were understandable code for sideboards that we could modify with better balance features and control the angle/speed.
I remember that I tried this code but there was something wrong with it. Donāt remember what but in the end I gave up. The code for sideboards from official FOC firmware is pretty clean and there is a lot of cpu power to add more features
Well, my programming skills are not that good so it is kinda hard to experiment 
Currently, I have one sideboard which is connected to both inputs of the motherboard. So you are saying that I could flash the motherboard with FOC firmware as well as my sideboard and try to modify that sideboard firmware (from FOC GitHub for sideboards)? I would leave it as it is now, but it is very inconvenient to drive as for higher speeds the board needs to be at a pretty aggressive angle and it can nosedive anytimeā¦
For now there is no any officially working balancing algorithm for foc firmware, so for now better to do not experiment with it, if my hardware wonāt explode again, this weekend I will work a bit on this.
@bula87 look at it (āArduino codeā and āSide Projectsā(lite version))
https://www.cammservices.com/projects/onewheelboard
itās interesting to get data output from arduino to hoverboard, what do you think? in his program, the nose of the board rises when picking up speed
ā¦ or adapt this code to stm32
