Inexpensive Hoverboard Motor Controller
Here is a quick video on how to use the new version of the RioRand brushless DC motor controller. I show some of the differences between this new version and the old version. I also connect a logic analyzer to measure some of the signals coming off the board. Check it out.
For more information on this board check out my blog post here:

    Everything was working well, and then when i set the throttle to max , the board just powered off and now the vcc and gnd terminals are shorted, so whenever i connect the battery it just shorts, any idea why this happens?

    Great tutorial. Just got it working on the bench. Note for others: If you are wondering "what do I do with the blue wire on the hall wire bundle coming from the motor? it's not working!" then you have it plugged in wrong. Phase A, B, and C's colors on the big wires match the colors on the little wires of the hall wire bundle. So for me it was 'hall sensor cable white to hall bundle yellow, hull sensor cable yellow to hall bundle blue, and hull sensor cable green to hall bundle green'. If you look at Mad-EE's diagram (test-setup-schematic) on the website it will make sense.

    Interesting, thanks ..but question: where exactly does the motor get the information about how fast the wheel is turning? It probably calculates this using the signal frequency of one of the Hall sensors (a separate tacho generator is usually not installed). If I were to send the pulses from all 3 sensors via 3 separate frequency dividers (i.e. only after 2 pulses would one be switched to ground), could I trick the controller and would it then increase (or double) its speed limit or would the interaction of the MOSFETs cause confusion? ..right, I just want more speed for my small but nice scooter ,)

    Hi, after watching your video I decided to start my project with the same motor controller and finally I was able to run two bldc motor e bike wheels with Arduino and FlySky FLS6X remote control, I ordered 4 of these controllers. I have a same kind of issue as described by one the user here @recreationalOverEngineering, when I connect Arduino digital pin to DIR port of motor controller it works for two or three time and then motor does not change directions, out of 4 my controllers only one controller is working and three of them are destroyed, I know we should not change the direction while motor is running in high speed but in my case speed was minimum out of 255 i am giving 25 PWM signals. I checked with my Ohm meter the value between GND pin and DIR pin it only 100 Ohm, and working controllers giving me a value in about 12k ohm, I believe the controller direction pin no longer can be used, what I am doing wrong are these controllers are not capable of handling 5v high signals? shall is used relay, optocoupler, SSR for changing directions. Please anyone whos reading this kindly reply if you have similar issue. Thank you

    Hello from Spain, this video is a great explanation about how the controller and motor works. I'm trying to manage 2 motos each one with a controller, the system seems to work correctly but when one or both motors get overloaded (small holes on the ground or some resistance on motors), the Arduino board get frozen keeping the last pum value on each motor so the robot is no more manageable and I need to reset the board... do you could know why that could be produced?

    Hi there...awesome explanation of the board mate!! I was wondering, seeing you have a huge amount of understanding this controller board, what would you think if I want to over clock it with higher voltage to say 125 volt and therefore changing the Mosfets values as well the caps...My need is not so much torque....just speed and thus to adjust the input voltage...Hope to hear from you. Friendly regards mate!!

    i got the hover board working but its noisy. At first it hummed. i switch motors phases and it started running. now im wondering it the hall sensors are out of phase. the riorand has hall sensors colors, green ,black, red, yellow, white. the motor hall sensor colors are green ,black, red, yellow, white. so the differences are white and blue which got connected together because that's what's left. maybe that;s the way it is. igot to take current reading and see if something is off. have you created a schematic

    I bought two of them for prototyping a self propelled bike trailer i just tryed them with my generic hoverboard motors first i tryed one with my variable lab bench power supply and everything was working ok i had problems with quite some vibrations at low rpm and sometimes the motor would not start and i had to push it. When i connected a 10s liion battery in the beginning everything was working fine until i was rising the throttle a litle bit higher the controller just broke and shorted out my battery luckily i had a lose connection wich just disintegrated before anything realy bad could happen. I tested the mosfets and they where toast completly shorted out. Then i thought maybe this one was bad and tested the other one everything the same on my power supply but with the battery i used a 5a fuse to make sure this would not happen again but when i rose the throttle the fuse popped and the mosfets where toast. Cant recimed this product.

    Can you pulse the brake signal to slow down? From what I've seen it stops it very abruptly which is what happens if you short the phases. I have one of these but if pulsing it blows it up, I don't want to buy another one.

    Perhaps there is another thread about this, so excuse the question if so... Throttle output at rest is .84v. I understand that that is normal and the motor should start turning after 1.25v. Mine is turning at rest and the speed pot is all the way minimized. Any suggestions?

  • @RecreationalOverEngineering
    @RecreationalOverEngineering 11 місяців тому

    Thanks for the good introduction! Just one thing that I got stuck on when getting my RioRand up and running, which might help others: The pinout image describes the STOP pin as active low, so I connected it to an Arduino and set it to +5 V. But then the motor was stuck on full speed, regardless which duty cycle my PWM signal had. It seems that the STOP pin is connected to the analog input created from PWM and potentiometer, and one can indeed stop the motor by pulling it to ground, but it should be left unconnected not to disturb the PWM.

    Hello Mad - EE, maybe try to build my new generation of four-phase Brushless Hybrid Fast - Rotation Motor? Preferably based on the Nema 23 standard stepper motor. Maybe you will also be able to construct a controller based on the Field Orient Control theory? I believe that it would not be difficult for you, such a new technical and electronic challenge. Best regards and congratulations on valuable educational programs 😀.
