When referring to the IKEA table sections the orange or teal sections in the image below will be the "tallest" sections, the gray will be the "medium", and the yellow will be the "thinnest". Alternatively, you can laser cut a base support from 0. The base of the IKEA table isn't quite strong enough to support heavy loads after it's been cut to make room for the wheels, so you'll need to make a support for it. Now that you've disassembled the hoverboard, you should be left with the collection of parts below. You may need to remove some glue that is on the retaining nuts. Remove the power switch and charge connector from the case half. Be sure to save the square metal mounting plates for the wheels. Then remove the 6mm Allen head screws holding the wheels to the hoverboard body. Remove the 4 Philips head screws holding the gyro board mounts on both sides of the hoverboard and set the gyro boards aside. If this is the case, you'll need to very carefully pry it off the hoverboard body. If your battery is not in a hard case as shown below, it will likely be held down by double-sided adhesive tape underneath.

You can cut the zip tie bundling the cables and may need to remove a secondary battery connector as well.
Remove the 4 Philips head screws holding the battery to the hoverboard body. This might be a good time to program the new firmware on the motor controller as it is easy to test that it is working when the wheels are still connected to the hoverboard body. Then remove the 4 Philips head screws - circled in red in the image below - that hold the motor controller and heat sink to the hoverboard body.
Remove the 9 Philips head screws holding the other half of the bottom case and disconnect the power button, charge connector, and LED panel.ĭisconnect all connectors on the motor controller - including the connectors on the opposite side - and fish the cables through the center tube. You can remove the zip tie holding the cable bundle together. Disconnect the yellow battery connector circled in red below.
In order to remove the plastic case, you'll have to disconnect the LED cable from the gyro board. This blog post details one possible way to assemble Hoverbot, but it can be built using whatever materials you have handy, as long as you have the necessary core components a hoverboard and a Raspberry Pi. Hoverbot is easy to assemble using basic hand tools and repurposed consumer hardware.
