Description: Over the summer, I made my own electric skateboard using a £4 Raspberry Pi Zero. Controlled with a Nintendo Wiimote, capable of going 30km/h, and with a range of over 10km, this project has been pretty darn fun. In this video, you see me racing around Cambridge and I explain the ins and outs of this project. Why make an electric skateboard?! Well... This project was inspired by Casey Neistat, enough said?: youtube.com/user/caseyneistat Also shoutout to one of the original Pi skateboarders, Tim Maier: youtube.com/watch?v=RmEzLk84aRs INFORMATION: View the code and parts list on GitHub! github.com/the-raspberry-pi-guy/skateboard THANK YOU: Huge thank you to Brian Corteil and Rob Karpinski for their help in making this project.
