In this video I show how HACK the HOVERBOARD MOTHERBOARD.
Changing the firmware of the motherboard from the hoverboard it can be controlled via the messages sent on USART and you get a powerful electric mobile platform.

OBS: “zadig” driver must be installed from the location https://zadig.akeo.ie/ in order for the “USB ST- LINK V2” to work in Platform IO.
‘USB ST-LINK V2’ is the device used to reprogram the motherboard.

Many thanks to:
