## Example Variants
This firmware offers currently these variants (selectable in [platformio.ini](/platformio.ini) or [config.h](/Inc/config.h)):
- **VARIANT_ADC**: In this variant the motors are controlled by two potentiometers connected to the Left sensor cable (long wired)
- **VARIANT_USART**: In this variant the motors are controlled via serial protocol (e.g. on USART3 right sensor cable, the short wired cable). The commands can be sent from an Arduino. Check out the [hoverserial.ino](/02_Arduino/hoverserial) as an example sketch.
- **VARIANT_NUNCHUK**: Wii Nunchuk offers one hand control for throttle, braking and steering. This was one of the first input device used for electric armchairs or bottle crates.
- **VARIANT_PPM**: This is when you want to use a RC remote control with PPM Sum signal
- **VARIANT_IBUS**: This is when you want to use a RC remote control with Flysky IBUS protocol connected to the Left sensor cable.
- **VARIANT_HOVERCAR**: In this variant the motors are controlled by two pedals brake and throttle. Reverse is engaged by double tapping on the brake pedal at standstill.
- **VARIANT_TRANSPOTTER**: This build is for transpotter which is a hoverboard based transportation system. For more details on how to build it check [here](https://github.com/NiklasFauth/hoverboard-firmware-hack/wiki/Build-Instruction:-TranspOtter) and [here](https://hackaday.io/project/161891-transpotter-ng).
Of course the firmware can be further customized for other needs or projects.

## Flashing
@ -138,6 +153,29 @@ make flash
openocd -f interface/stlink-v2.cfg -f target/stm32f1x.cfg -c flash "write_image erase build/hover.bin 0x8000000"
```
### Method 4: MacOS
- prerequisites: first get brew https://brew.sh
- then install stlink ST-Flash utility
```
brew install stlink
```
- open a terminal in the repo check-out folder and type:
```
make
```
If compiling fails because something is missing just install it with brew AND leave a comment to improve this howto or pull request ;-)
- flash the firmware by typing:
```
make flash
```
- if unlock is needed
```
make unlock
```

## Troubleshooting
First, check that power is connected and voltage is >36V while flashing.

Most robust way for input is to use the ADC and potis. It works well even on 1m unshielded cable. Solder ~100k Ohm resistors between ADC-inputs and gnd directly on the mainboard. Use potis as pullups to 3.3V.
