Testing all wheel drive with two seperate hoverboard controllers. All motors are syncronized via Raspberry parallel connection. Driving it with computer keyboard using teleop_twist_keyboard. I am still adjusting values for the smoothest drive and will upload to github (forked).

I used Lloyd Brombach’s methods to flash the board and make it move, please head over to his channel to learn step by step how to get your hoverboard system up and running:

Lloyd has a great eBook that I recommend if you are going to mash hoverboards with autonomous robot:
“Practical Robotics in C++: Build and Program Real Autonomous Robots Using Raspberry Pi”
https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Robotics-Program-Autonomous-Raspberry-ebook/dp/B08VDP2ZP5

I forked another forked (by Alex Makarov) hoverboard-driver and adjusted some values for 4×4 driving (RPi parallel connection to two hb controllers) and fast installing:

I also forked the already forked FOC for flashing the hoverboard controller for ROS usage, all values preset:

I log each process on my twitter profile, follow me on twitter (also for contact):
