Improving Hoverboard hack repos and making my own HoverGocart one

Tried to flash the AT32 ESC one more time this time with a cmsis dap debugger made out of an RPI pico but sadly without luck.

And while I was at I I had flashed by brothers gocart.

Oh and I was also able to disassemble my friends hoverboard and it was the OG ESC!

A lot of has happened. I’ve finally had a bit of time to tinker with another board that I own. Managed to flash it but I wan’t able to get the wheels turning properly and when compiling it myself the binary looked way too different. So I’ve spent the whole day just by flashing it AaaaAaaAaAAAAAaaaahhhh. But thankfully I’ve remembered to dump the original FW so I atleast know if I’ve made it worse or burned the ESC up. lol
Also setting up a camera for lapse was super awkward as it only either showed me or the code.

And today I had made some changes to the main navigation repo. So it looks cleaner and has a better base, but there are still major thing to be done.

This devlog is pretty packed with stuff.
This repo was meant to be a kind of a hackathon at outpost. But it didn’t make sense so I’ve pivoted to compiling and destiling hoverboard hack repos as they are scattered all over the place.

AND ALSO THE HOVERCART HACKATHON STILL LAYS IN MY HEAD SO I’VE EMAILED OUR LOCAL MAKER FAIRE AND THEY REALLY LIKE IT!!!!

So I’ve began by making a repo and compiling the steps needed to flash EEferus FOC firmware.

And next up was configuring the FW for the hovercart for the hackathon. So I firstly created my fork along with a branch for my config.
https://github.com/Tomas-Kuchta-FPV/hoverboard-firmware-hack-FOC/tree/TK-hovercart
And then after compiling flashing testing tweaking. I’ve managed to get the optimum setup.
Because of these learning I was able to come up with an optimum setup for the hacathon.

And yeah looking back my little sub hackathon wont fit so I’m not that bummed with it.

And after all of this i went to outpost had a lot of fun there. And during outpost my brother was building a gocart of his own. And that takes us to now.
His gocart now has HOVERBOARDS as WHEELS!
Which is a full circle moment. And yeah I had the urge to buy one more hoverboard to make a onewheel powered by the motor.
So after all of that I have started researching firmware projects for these and it looks like that the hoverboard-hack project are under maintained and PRs are not getting merged anymore. So My goal with this repo is to consolidate all the wonderfull fixes, board variant, buyng advise and such into one giant repo to make it more accesible to beginers and for the hackathon hosted by our local maker faire.
