Firmware Compatibility
The mainboards with a STM32F103RCT6/STM32F103RET6 or a GD32F103RCT6 should be supported by this firmware.
For the reverse-engineered schematics of the mainboard, see 20150722_hoverboard_sch.pdf.
Some boards have 6 wires on the hall sensors cable, with an additional white wire.
For those you can use the alternate mapping by changing parameter BOARD_VARIANT in config.h
It could be that your mainboard was designed differently, please check if the pin mapping is matching with the one in this section.
- Motors are cogging/not running in a smooth way - please try to swap the phases. Usually, color-correct mapping (blue to blue, green to green, yellow to yellow) works fine. However, some hoverboards have a different layout then others, and this might be the reason your motor isn't spinning well. It could also be that a defective mosfet is not turning ON
- In speed mode, wheels are running at maximum speed - find the right mapping for hall sensors, firmware probably measures a speed with opposite sign
- With hovercar variant in torque mode, braking actually accelerates - find the right mapping for hall sensors, firmware probably measures a speed with opposite sign
- If you have a problem on a single motor, try to swap the motors to understand if the problem is coming from the board or the wheel. Some boards have a different phase mapping or current sensing on one the wheels (discussed here )
In general, if you have doubts about you mainboard's compatibility:
- Try sinusoidal control type with ADC variant first for your tests, this will prove phases/halls are mapped to the right pins
- Then try FOC control type and voltage mode with ADC variant, this will prove phase current sensing is also working fine, this is mandatory for FOC
- Then you can try FOC control type and Speed control mode with ADC variant, this will prove the phases/hall sensor sequence is correct and speed/direction measurement is accurate
This is the pin mapping this firmware is using, you might have to adapt it to your board variant in defines.h file
