This variant can be used with Wii Nunchuk (not the Wiimote).

🔌 Wiring:

  • Connect nunchuk's VCC to 3.3v from programming port or from a voltage regulator, ⚠️ Red wire from sensor cable delivers 15v !!!
  • Connect blue wire to SCL and green wire to SDA on right sensor board cable(shorter)
  • Connect nunchuk to ground, ⚠️ On some boards, the black wire is 15v !!! Check with a multi-meter to make sure 15V and ground are not swapped
  • ⚠ 100k Pull up resistors connected to 3.3v are recommended to prevent the board to go full speed if nunchuk is disconnected

Recommendation: Nunchuk Breakout Board https://github.com/Jan--Henrik/hoverboard-breakout

⚙️ Configuration/Parameters

Default settings for this variant are:

  • Voltage Control Mode
  • A smoother FILTER so more control lag
  • A lower SPEED_COEFFICIENT so lower maximum throttle
  • A negative STEER_COEFFICIENT so steering is reversed

Please check the parameters that are common to all the variants.

🎛️ Calibration:

Proceed with calibration for better control.

🧰 Troubleshooting:

If the board is beeping

  • On some boards the wire colors might differ, try switching blue and green cable
  • Keep cable short, use shielded cable, use ferrits, stabilize voltage in nunchuk
  • It could be the chip's ports are defective, or the 101 smd resistors are either missing or have a too high resistance: do you have another board to try with ? This will help understand wether the problem is the board or the nunchuk
  • If you have added capacitors for PWM/PPM, remove it
