[Davide Gironi] shows us how to implement a sensorless brushless DC motor controller (sensorless BLDC) using an ATmega8 microcontroller. In order to control a BLDC motor you need to know its ...

Brushless motors are ubiquitous in RC applications and robotics, but are usually driven with low-cost motor controllers that have to be controlled with RC-style PWM signals and don’t allow for much ...

Electronic enthusiasts, developers and makers searching for a modular sensorless BLDC motor controller, may be interested in a new piece of hardware created by Igor Chekhovtsov and this week launched ...

Allegro’s A4960 is a 3-phase, sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor controller released since 2011 intended to be used with external N-channel power MOSFETs. The A4960 features a three-phase BLDC ...

STMicroelectronics has announced a complete three-phase motor-control development kit (the STM3210B-MCKIT) based on its STM32 Flash microcontroller, which provides all the necessary hardware and ...

The ability to control the motors’ speed and rotation is the design key of drones, making the electronic speed control (ESC) module an added value and a fundamental part of a drone. In this article, ...
