Skateboards are fun, but you have to do all that pesky kicking in order to get anywhere. That’s why Nick decided to build his own eletric skateboard. Not only is the skateboard powered with an electric motor, but the whole thing can be controlled from a smart phone.
Nick used a Turnigy SK3 192KV electric motor to drive the wheels. He also used a Turnigy electronic speed controller to make sure he could vary the speed of the board while riding.
Next Nick needed some interface between a smart phone and the motor controller. He chose to use an Arduino Nano hooked up to a Bluetooth module. The Nano was able to directly drive the motor controller, and the Bluetooth module made it easy to sync up to a mobile phone. The Android app was written using MIT’s App Inventor software. It allows for basic control over the motor speed so you can cruise in style.
