FOC Brushless DC Motor Driver Board 8-30V 2.5A

The SimpleFOCmini is a compact driver for brushless DC motors (BLDC) based on the Field-Oriented Control (FOC) method. Unlike conventional brushless controllers (ESCs) that rely on block commutation, the board generates sinusoidal control signals for particularly smooth and efficient motor operation. With an input voltage of 8 to 30 V DC and a maximum output current of 2.5 A per phase, the driver is suitable for a variety of BLDC motors. Full compatibility with the SimpleFOC open-source library enables a quick start in field-oriented motor control.
