Hoverboard Power Monitor based on Arduino Nano

By Marco Ventimiglia on May 7, 2021

The aim of the project is to measure the energy consumption of the hoverboard during different driving situations. For this reason, Niklas Roy decided to develop a power meter similar to the car’s on-board computer.

Roy’s handheld device is controlled by an Arduino Nano and utilizes a Hall effect current sensor. The measurements are shown as numbers and as oscillograms on a 1.8” TFT screen, which can also be logged to the display’s built-in SD card. An RTC module provides timestamp information for these readings, which can be produced using Processing and overlaid on video.
