Welcome to the Right-LANe-2.0* wiki!
This wiki is meant to give deeper understanding of the whole project of building a small electric-powered vehicle, such as an electric longboard and can also serve as a build guide**.
It is devided in 3 main sections:
- Hardware (explains the selection of parts for the prototype)
- Microcontroller and electronic components (describes the compositon of the microcontroller and accompanying electronic components)
- Software (explains the Arduino sketch, which with the required software libraries runs the steering system)
I hope this Wiki will give the reader a comprehensive description of a project as a whole and the thought process I went through, creating the prototype.
*In summer 2016 I started playing around with the idea of making an electric longboard. I successfully created an early stage prototype, but by the time it was completed I learned so much about the technical matters that I almost immediately started working on a second iteration.
I wanted to refine the hardware and software aspects and improve reliability of the first prototype. The most important step to achieve that, was to switch from Raspberry Pi Model B to Arduino Pro Mini.
**The final product is after all still a prototype and therefore not tested enough to be treated as a safe to use product. I do not take any responsibility for damage to property or any kind of injuries caused by the board.
