Electric-Skateboard

Detailed build story can be found at: http://www.tecprojects.com/Electric_Skateboard/index.html

Hardware

the sensors I used are:

• Current and Voltage sensor
• RGB LED indicator that I use to alert low battery or any other use
• OLED Display to see all data like speed, cruse, limit, lights and more
• GPS to determine speed, direction and display clock
• Pressure sensor to sense if I am still on the skateboard and other aplications
• Buzzer to buzz on low voltage
• Relay switch to control lights
• RC Receiver to control throttle with the remote
• Teensy 3.1 as a micro controller, this was the only one strong enough to hold all the sensors

Menu

Each menu item is displayed on the OLED screen. These are the menu items:

• BUZZER - empty screen
• Lights ON/OFF
• BATTERY - Voltage
• CURRENT - Amp
• POWER - Watt
• MAXIMUMS - Max Amp, Watt and Speed
• GPS - Speed ,direction and satellite in view
• Time and Date
• Cruz control
• Force sensor ON/OFF - use for safety - it will stop the skateboard when I am not on it
• Speed limit ON/OFF
• Change the curve value
• Add/Remove Debugging screen
• Debugging Screen

Libraries

I have used a several libraries in the software:

• Servo.h
• TinyGPS++.h
• SPI.h
• Wire.h
• Adafruit_GFX.h
• Adafruit_SSD1306.h
