From the project

ESC for BLDC motors for UAVs with I2C interface

The TFESC02 is a high-performance BLDC motor driver device designed specifically for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications. At its core uses the MCF8329A integrated circuit, which enables advanced Field Oriented Control (FOC) without requiring feedback sensors. The TFESC02 is optimized for integration into UAV systems via the I2C interface and is supported in PX4 autopilot firmware, providing a seamless solution for propulsion systems in small and micro UAVs.
