BrushlessESC: common questions

What microcontroller does the BrushlessESC use?

The BrushlessESC is built around the ATMEGA8-AI, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the BrushlessESC PCB?

The BrushlessESC measures 50 × 60.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the BrushlessESC?

79 components, from 29 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the BrushlessESC design files?

From the Tynogc/BrushlessESC repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the BrushlessESC design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the BrushlessESC without the hardware?

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