Skateboard built with Raspberry Pi

A seventeen year old boy from the UK Cambridge has built an electric skateboard.

Skateboard is operated by the controller of the Wii game console, which is connected via Bluetooth to the P Zero. He reached speeds of nearly 30 kilometers per hour. With a full charge it can travel about 10 kilometers. Others may imitate him, the code of the P Zero is put on Github.

Matthew Timmons-Brown does not intend to market his skateboard. His next project is a Mars Explorer.
