In this Video i show a detailed view on the Two Hoverboard tanks i build a while ago.

Part 2 / Flashing manual: https://youtu.be/NDL2_DEqnKE

Here is a link to the Custom firmware for the Hoverboard mainboards original from NiklasFauth:

and the forked one with Serial Protocol i use in the 4WD Tank:

And here is the Arduino NANO firmware for the 4WD Drive:

If you are interested, please watch my other videos about the 4WD and 2WD Tanks.

  1. Hey man nice! I just built an RC cart based on these. Wondering if you could put the code up on GitHub for the Nunchuck remote and receiver. Thanks!

  2. Hello, do you do any freelance work? Would love to talk with you about a build I would like to do for my special needs son…

  3. Nice job. Need help – I have two hub motors on the front side, but they move with different speed when they are connected to same arduino and power supply. Any suggestions on how to ensure the wheels move with same speed if they are moving just forward or backwards. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

  4. Hi it such a great work I need to know what type of the joystick you use with 2 wheels drive and from where to buy

  5. Great work..!!
    Can you please help me out I would like to build 2Wd robot as you did. Did you have any github repo for Transmitter which you build? .Thanks in advance…

  6. Hi, I’m looking to do something similar but don’t have the technical skills you do. Would you be able to help me figure out the RC side of things as it’s to power my R2d2

  7. Hello, I have the idea to make the same robot platform to pull loads or do the garden for example, do you think the torque is enough? Thanks

  8. Hi @Aaron Christophel Thanks you for nice video. Im vietnamese. i want to build a 4wd as your. i watched your clip many times but cant find exactly the name of hardware you use. can you list to me the name or link of hardware need to buy. Need 2 hove boad, 2 Esp32 – wroom or Esp32 – soC ? "Arduinio now ? i cant find" , power converter 42 -> 5v for esp32 ?

  9. Hi, ich arbeite gerade an einem ähnlichem Projekt und wollte fragen ob du das drei rädige Fahrzeug erklären könntest. Nähmlich wie das gebaut wurde, da ich echt dabei Hilfe bräuchte.

  10. could you provide the codes for arduino and stm32 for differential mode ?
    all i could get is codes for controlling four wheel drives using 2 stm boards.
    i need to control two motors using a single stm board. please do reply

  11. Eigentlich war ich lange auf der Suche nach einem geeigneten Boostedboard für mich, aber Dein Video hier lässt mich gerade komplett umdenken. Danke dafür!

  12. Sir can you guide me on where to connect the pa2/tx and pa3/rx on my esp32 receiver? How about the 3.3 vcc and negative pins from main board to esp32? Thank u so much in advance.

  13. Mich würde die Dynamik der Motoren mit der "Custom-Software" interessieren. Für maximale Dynamik müsste ein abtourendes Rad gebremst werden und im Stillstand kurzgeschlossen sein (lässt sich dann nur schwer von Hand durchdrehen). Die original Hovertboard-SW liefert höchste Dynamik und echte Drehmomentsprünge, sowie geringste (kaum messbare / wahrnehmbare) Umschaltzeiten Vor/Rück. Das geht leider aus den ansonsten gut gemachten Videos nicht hervor. Ich bleibe daher skeptisch was die "Custom-Software" angeht…
    Ich habe das für mein 4WD-Projekt anders gelöst, indem ich direkt die Motorcontroller mit einer USART ansteuere, wobei die SW auf dem HB-Motorcontroller unverändert ist:

  14. Do you have more info or links on the ESP32 controller?
    Love the build! Now I know what to do with the two scavenged hover board motors in my garage.

  15. Great project. Can you please provide wiring diagram of your project ?

    Thanks.
