Developing a firmware to perform sensorless six-step commutation with my custom built BLDC controller. The code has been made available on GitHub.

Designing a custom PCB which serves as a ESC or BLDC controller, to drive brushless motors using my own control algorithms.

All components needed for a BLDC controller PCB design are presented. In this post I present the parts I selected, and the reasoning behind my choices.

Brushless motors are increasingly popular, but are complex to control. In this log I investigate designing my own PCB and controls for a BLDC controller.
