A project log for Repairing HoverChair

At the CRI, we are trying to rebuild a rolling chair with a hoverboard, from a previous project.

The goal of this session was to first find a power supply of 26V (max voltage for the ESCs , but 40V for the motors). We took a generator and looked if it worked well with a multimeter. And it worked corectly. We also removed the motherboard of the Hoverboard, just so it was clearer with all those wires. We can put it bag at any moment

We had to create plug so we could attach our ESCs to the generator. We created a plug with solder and heatshrink.  We then pluged it the escs to our generator as we planned to. Everything was going well.

The motors beeped, the same beep to say they were receiveng juice but no signal. So this time we tried to give ESCs signal with arduino.

We thirst tried the default code Servo Sweep and pluged the arduin to signal and turned on the power supply, now a different beep. But still no rotayion or anything, and this continuiss beep. 

We tried different codes, one specifically for ESCs. But still and always nothing. We aybe need to find a another way to send signal to these ESCs .
