1 Introduction
Thanks to be selected to join the Summer of Green Tech design challenge, I have change to turn the old scooter usable again or throw it into dustbin.
At least, I can recycle the old one into green electricity driven things, to help preserve our planet for future generations.
It can be madebare Matel as https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1BJ411c7Tb?t=19.5
But I would like make use as many availbale parts and make minimal hardware modifications. That would use different technical design.
2 Hardware
2.1 The Design Kits, Seeeduino XIAO and Grove Sensor Pack,
2.2 Motor driver at least 10A, 12V
2.3 12V~24V DC motor
2.4 Shaft and Gear sets
2.5 Rechargeable Battery and charger
2.6 Control button and nobs
2.7 LED lamps and beeper
2.8 Toolsets for installation
3 Software
Arduino IDE is must-to-have
And I may do some PCBs with EDAs, KiCAD or Something Else? I shall figure it out later.
4 Summary
First, I need do some calculation and simple physics experiment on force and torque to decide the selection of DC motors and gears. It shall take times to do all by hands, I have several different design selections like BLDC or brush DC. I shall show how it goes in later blogs.
