How it's made... the I2
I have stripped my I2 to discover what's in it.....and i have make some pictures how it's looking now,sow that ik can look back if something burn/broken on the boards, an replace it.
What i found for information on inside is this : 1 On the top of the intern charger, is the circuit-board who communicate with the key. 2 under that is the intern charger, who lies in one line with the lean-steering sensors 3 Inside the Pan whe have the 2 control boards and the gyroscoop and off course the motor's 4 Underside of the segway there are the batteries. What i am trying to discover is, what component's area on the Circuit-boards is doing.. Sow some errrors maybe whe can repair. 1: On every corner we have 6 transistors these are ''the drives'' for the motors ( even for the regenitive ) 2:There is one Big transistor more on the board,i think it has something to do with the incoming power from the batteries.... so far it is what i have discover |

Sounds interesting, what are your plans? I mean for what purpose are you doing all this stuff?

That diagram details basically nothing on the boards, which is what the OP is interested in.

Some things are generally known, but the details are known by very, very few people. Dealers will not know the type of information that you are seeking. As far as I know, all of the people who DO know such things either work at Segway now, or did work at Segway, and these people can not provide information because they are bound by confidentiality agreements. I have been on this forum since 2006, and to date, even a complete list of standard error codes has not been identified.
Can a Segway be reverse engineered? Absolutely yes, but the question is how much time, money, and expertise do you have available to do this? Sorry, vip1980, but Segway simply does not want you to do what you are trying to do. |

Segway in the netherlands never said to me when i bought it:'' if something broken, or there wil be some errors ''. you have to repair it on or place, and the first cost is about 500 dollar (375 euro) and that's only when i drive the seg in without doing nothing. Sow why not discover it by myself Last edited by vip1980; 02-11-2011 at 08:59 AM.. |

software
I am also trying to learn how to communicate with the cont diagnostics. Not too many products that have full rights to their ability to fix and service. The end user should have some rights with this.
It erks me to have an intermittent wrench and corporate tell me it could be a control board or a drive motor on my xt. I have since purchased another xt in the mean time. There must be a way to pull and reset these machines info with software or a simple interface. I intend to work on this and accept full responsibility and test myself. If anyone has more info and wants to stay out of the spotlight a email directly is welcome. Tim Naples Fl Kc4ssd at gmail dot com |

Even if we never knew how the board work or what's on them it would be very nice if we could buy the board and replace it ourselves. As it is we have to send the machine into the factory.
