How do the sensors work on a self-balancing scooter?
Self-balancing boards have frames that pivot in the center. The electric motors and sensors that detect speed and tilt angle are actually inside of each wheel. The gyroscopes receive the data from the tilt sensors in the wheels and relay it to the logic board, keeping the board upright at all times.
What makes a hover board move?
Many hoverboards use hub motors. That’s basically a motor inside the wheel. These motors make use of the data sent to them by speed and tilt sensors located at each wheel. To move the hoverboard, you step on the hoverboard and lean forward slightly to go forward.
How is hoverboard controlled?
Each wheel has it’s own gyroscope and tilt and speed sensor. When you climb aboard and tilt your balance forward or backward, the gyroscope tells the logic board which way to move. The logic board sends that data to the motor, which rotates the wheels and generates the power for you to move. More tilt = more speed.
