Diseño y construcción de una plataforma móvil para el control de motores HoverBoard mediante conexión bluetooth para la carrera de Ingeniería Automotriz Sede Quito Campus Sur

Abstract

The project entitled "Design and construction of a mobile platform for the control of HoverBoard motors through Bluetooth connection for the Automotive Engineering course at the Quito South Campus" presents the development of a mobile platform, using emerging technologies in the field of electric mobility. The main objective of this project is to design and build a compact, robust and remotely controlled platform, suitable for various applications such as internal logistics and mobility in urban environments. The structure of the platform is based on a sturdy metal base, equipped with four BLDC motors from HoverBoards, known for their efficiency and power. These motors are managed by motherboards, which operate by interrupting the infrared signal from the slotted optocouplers they have. The infrared signal interruption is performed by SG90 servo motors, controlled by an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller. Wireless connectivity is achieved through a Bluetooth HC-06 module, which allows the platform to be controlled from a smartphone. The Arduino Mega 2560 programming code manages the movement of the servo motors, which perform a 90-degree turn to interrupt the infrared signal from the optocouplers, thus activating the motors and allowing the platform to move. This project addresses several technical and design challenges, including efficient integration of the components and optimization of the remote control of the platform. The results demonstrate that the mobile platform is able to move in an efficient and controlled manner, offering a practical and innovative solution for mobility in different environments.
