From the project

This the Hardware for my open source custom ESC. This is a forked repository from mrkindustries, who made many improvements to my original hardware design.

Here is a BOM on google drive that I try to keep up to date: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnvZ-ouEB058dGpzaDl4MUxNM3NxZ1BzTWNZZ1RhRUE&usp=sharing

Have a look at this post for a tutorial on how to get started: http://vedder.se/2015/01/vesc-open-source-esc/

Bldc hardware: common questions

What microcontroller does the Bldc hardware use?

The Bldc hardware is built around the STM32F40X_LQFP64, from the STM32 family.

How big is the Bldc hardware PCB?

The Bldc hardware measures 38.5 × 65 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Bldc hardware?

124 components, from 55 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Bldc hardware design files?

From the glocklueng/bldc-hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Bldc hardware design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with glocklueng. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Bldc hardware without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
