Could you add PWM of possible remote?

[BorgStefan]

Hi Emanuel,

I have taken 4 ten inch wheels and mainboard from 2 Hoverboards. Constructed my own skatebord and using Benjaf repository to make and build a software which uses PWM as remote. Hence I have a 4 wheel drive and it does around 20 km/h.

I would be really happy if you could add PWM control to your sw. I would like to try it with my skateboard. My skateboard makes 12 km with 4 Hoverboard batteries.
Many thx for your great effort so far!

Hi Stefan,

PPM is already implemented.
It is serialized PWM, means all channels goes over one wire.
You'll have to convert PWM to PPM using an arduino / esp / teensy ...
Code you'll find here on github.

PS: interesting eboard :-)

Hi, I am using hoverboard hack made by Niclas Fausth which Benjalf has modified to work with a PWM remote. I managed to flash to mainboards and use 2 receivers to one PWM based remote. I will try and modify feru sw to include benjalf modifications. A Video of my first tries with Benjalf sow.

I see, benjaf/hoverboard-firmware-hack-esk8@aa910a9

Thats nice and would be cool when you do this as new VARIANT_PWM

That would be nice to add, however is up to you to perform the testing since I don't have the remote and receiver.
I agree with Kai to add a new VARIANT_PWM to keep all the rest unaffected. If you do the changes make a Pull Request and I will review.

Hi, Well it has been almost 11 years since I made some coding... I am not using my skateboard for testing. I have a testbed where I try my new sw changes. Benjaf code works and the setup I made with his code is reliable but would like to try new sw.

Done.

[BorgStefan]

Oh you have done it?! Thank you very much. I have started on my own but then how fun it will be to try it!!!
