Open esk8 Remote Controller

thingiverse

Open electric skateboard remote for NRF24L01+ based remote controller designs. Most Chinese boards use this NRF chip to communicate with the remote until end of 2018. It's a Chinese no name motor controller that comes with a remote and can be configured to run four motors. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEWER HOBBYWING BLUETOOTH BASED CONTROLLERS! The detailed description can be found on my HackaDay project page. https://hackaday.io/project/161730-open-esk8-remote-v1 I reverse engineered the communication protocol between the board and the remote and implemented my own code based on an Arduino Nano. I build my own PCB around the selected components and stuffed everything into a nice, solid enclosure that fits nicely into my hand, even for long rides. I printed the parts with the hollow side down and used support. I printed in PLA and the prints came out nicely! The support is a bit hard to remove but the reward was great!
