AD: Watch Qualcomm's tutorial series and try out the RB5 Development Kit: • Video 1 - Introduction... and a big thanks to Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. for sponsoring this video!
I built a Star Wars Speeder Bike with omni-directional wheels powered by electric jet engines. I also have a plan for another version of the Star Wars Speeder Bike. Last time, I took the guts from a hoverboard and used them to make a balancing bike. Each original hoverboard wheel is mounted on the bike and drives the bike wheels with a drive belt. This makes the resulting velocity the same as it would have been when the hoverboard wheels were touching the ground. So now the balancing electronics still work as designed since the output velocity of the vehicle is the same.

You should just limit the handlebar control to rotational steering and isolate sideways motion to the footpegs so that you can put your weight on the handlebars much comfortably and the leaning forces on each of your arms balance the handlebars straight until you use additional force to turn them. Great video as always!! EDIT: Being an avid cyclist (which James's vehicle is similar to in terms of ground contact), I have thought of concepts that I believe have considerable contribution to stability/balance: 1. The mutual exclusivity in motion is being forcibly relayed into the controls under the rider/operator's contact points (arms and legs). One can not turn the handlebars both left and right, and one cannot put both pedals downwards at the same time. 2. The motion of the controls, which also act as the ground/support of the operator, should not coincide or interfere with the operator's own self-stabilization. Angular steering via the handlebars should not cause the vehicle to rotate with the steering axis, and the foot controls should not interfere with the operator's ability to compensate their balance during sideways translation. Translating these concepts into James's design, one would isolate angular steering to the handlebars, with the front wheel rotating equal or faster than the rear wheel. There would also be foot pedals (similar to bicycle pedals but bolted directly without the cranks) that are mechanically coupled in such a way that when one is tilted forwards the other tilts the opposite and vice versa, giving the operator a sense of rigidity as they stand on the pedals with the pedals angularly level. this alternate tilting or rotation of the pedals will then control sideways translation. Again this is purely conceptual but I do hope these anecdotal observations from someone who has considerable time riding vehicles with only two points of contact to the ground will help you with this project.

Cool stuff! I think controlling sideways motion with your knees would be easier. I believe riders use their knees to control horses - and you can control a bicycle or motorcycle with your knees so it's very intuitive. Having a solid handlebar to hold on to seems essential - a small hiccup can quickly escalate to a full on disaster otherwise.
@nutbastard
@nutbastard 8 ай бұрын
I have to agree. The floating handlebar seems fine on paper but in practice, and on conventional bicycles, it’s the primary anchor point, and the point at which one’s finest motor skills can be employed. I used to play Segway Polo, and the older ones had twist grip steering while the i2’s had tilt bar steering. The older rigid twist grips were vastly superior and allowed for riding styles that were wild by comparison, and far less likely to end with the rider eating grass. Adding more degrees of freedom to add more nuance to the controls also adds more opportunity for rider error. In theory this also adds more nuance of motion but that’s not always desirable over stability and predictability.

who controlls their motorcycle with their knees?? you can use your hips to shift weight for a better response when you want to lean the bike, but generally the leaning action comes from turning the steering wheel and then bein leaned into the opposite direction you steered in because of gyroscopic effect

@@timobensch3904 counter steering is certainly the way to control a motorcycle at speed. but a lot of riding techniques requires knee control: "Your knees can also act as a rudder, helping you steer the bike through turns. By squeezing the bike on the inside of the turn, you can help initiate the turn and maintain your line through the corner. It improves your riding style. Squeezing the bike with your knees is a key component of proper motocross technique." and "Proper standing riding posture should include knees that are constantly engaged in the action. They may begin stacked directly over the pegs but are frequently squeezing and releasing the inner portion of the seat and/or tank. It is this squeeze point at the knees that allows for some of the most significant rider input to the bike. With the knees doing this much work, your upper body can remain light on the handlebars and your adventure can last much longer."

I love this idea. Have you thought about having a stable foot area with pedals for the offsets? This would be less like a hoverboard but more like a speeder bike, and probably also make it easier to "rest" your feet instead of having them in constant tension even when trying to just keep things neutral. The other things is maybe a dead-man switch on the handlebars because it looks like when you suddenly are needing to dump the bike, the bike electronics seem to be working against you instead of letting you just recover to your feet. If you could just "let go" of something on the handlebars to tell the bike "stop trying to compensate against me", then it might make it easier to deal with that situation?
@Bad__Music2262
@Bad__Music2262 5 ай бұрын
Agreed. It seems like it would be a good idea to implement motorcycle foot peg and foot pedals but use them to control yaw and strafe instead of controlling the typical rear brake and gear shifter. He might have to design an additional foot pedal each side positioned above the foot so that pushing it up gives the opposite input for that side. Maybe yaw left is down left foot + up right foot and strafe left is just down left foot + no right foot input? Or some combination of those, I don't know which should be which to feel more natural. In general, basing the speeder controls off of motorcycle controls seems like a good idea, if motorcycles have a design that works, and they don't have a stability/bracing/comfort issue, then it'll probably work for this, as long as it's even possible to remap the controls to actually suit his purposes. Twist throttle on the handlebars was a good idea, and he probably doesn't need a clutch, so he's free to use both hand levers for brakes. If he does implement multiple gears, they probably won't be manual, so he could use two thumb buttons to electronically switch gears.

Already seen a few ideas to improve the steering, but I feel like tossing in my two cents anyway: I remember seeing a speeder (I think in the clonewars series) whose handlebars only moved front to back for acceleration and deceleration. So you lean on them to push them forward, accelereating the speeder and leaning back, thus pulling it back to decelerate. Sideways motion and turning was done with leaning to one of the sides and foot pedals, I believe. I feel like this could be somewhat replicated for your omniwheels by integrating the boards for measuring the angle into (or onto) foot pedals that you seesaw front and back. Turning could then be done by tilting one forward and the other backward simultaneously for example. Whether one would solve the sideways movement through the aforementioned leaning of the body, or by configuring the foot pedals to tilting both in the same direction for one side, would need testing as for the intuitivity I'd say.

It's ironic that you convert the inclination of the handlebar into rotational position, measure that position with the potentiometer which in turn moves a servo that changes the inclination of the original hover board circuit board, only for that circuit board to turn those measurements measures into commands for the wheel to move. You were trying to save time by using an existing product, but you ended up working three times as much and introduced additional complications, like the acceleration you mention at the end of the video. You could have used the inclination and rotation of the handlebar directly to move the wheels. Fun video to watch. Thanks for sharing. I am sure it was a great learning experience.
