Build a one wheel skateboard that balances
itself.
Forward and reverse capabilities.
Control the speed and the direction of the
skateboard by shifting your weight forward
or backward
Learn more about various electrical
components
Programming of microcontroller
Design the skateboard and identify the needs,
both electrical and mechanical.
 Understand how the OSMC motor controller
works.
 Understanding how the Arduino works.
 Programming: how to acquires different inputs
from sensor, how to treat the inputs to get the
desirable outputs.
 Building the board itself
 Testing and calibration

Identified needed components to acheive our
goal.
Understanding the functionnality of the Open
Source Motor Controller and microcontroller.
Programming the arduino board.
Make the motor reacts with the change of
angles given by the accelerometer.
Implementing safety measures.

OSMC : control the motor power and
direction
Arduino: control the OSCM and motor speed
Gyroscope: convert physical signal to analog
Motor: 24V,ungeared DC motor, 4000rpm
approx .70 horsepower (MAX)

Motor turns as a function of the change in
angle
Board doesn’t start until leveled
If the angle is too great the board cuts off and
needs to be leveled again to regain its
functionality
If the occupant falls off, the board will stop
once leveled

Occupancy sensors that act like an on/off
switch.
Lighter versions to maximize efficiency.
Knob to set the sensitivity.
Knob leveling control (be able go uphill /
downhill ).
