Handheld transmitter

royston02
royston02 over 11 years ago

I see many people build wireless reciver for electric skateboards and wanted to build one which could be controlled by a phone(android) and a handheld reciver. A few questions:

-How to make one like this(wireless)?

https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/002/032/858/34c0fa6478a0d319f5b712b27be07e5d_large.jpg?1400567936

-Can I use a bluethoot module for the handheld reciver or will it intefere with the signals send to the phone(one will be on the skateboard)?

It's my diy project because I like skateboardsimage.

    An example of a very simple transmitter / receiver could be based on the TI Booster Pack (CC110L Booster sub 1GHz radio) http://www.ti.com/tool/430boost-cc110l this has a simple to use transmitter on a…

    Dear: Royston

    There are many ways you could make a skateboard wireless. First of all you should know that you are going to need servo motors to make a RC skateboard so I suggest you do mechanical and electrical before programming. Second of all there are many great tutorials with raspberry PI so why don't you use that to make your skateboard wireless. See a raspberry pi is a PCB primarily designed to be wireless for robots and stuff so that would be good for you. Also you are going to need voltage regulators to power the servos and a big battery so I wish you good luck.image

    I am using an arduino not a Rpi. Seems like you didn't get the idea. It should be handheld so the transmitter should be thin(thinnest possible ). I am not using servo's, just two RC brushless motors. Receiver is on the arduino on the skateboard. Next, I'm using it to be controlled by the skateboard/handheld transmitter so there should not be interference between signals. Mechanical engineering is all planned out except the transmitter and that is why I posted it on this forum.

    Dear: Royston

    I suggest you go here for a tutorial. Here is a great tutorial for how to using arduino RC. Good luck but I really recommend is you use Ethernet but alright.

    I would like something small and compact like this:

    The one you posted was way too big

    In that case I think I have been misreading what you have been asking. The only you can do this is to reinvent the wheel by making a custom PCB. This PCB will need the following.

    • antenna
    • Easy controlls (which you already showed me).
    • Good programming

    So in that case I ask you what you need help with.
