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

The DFRobot SimpleFOCmini drives brushless DC motors (BLDC) with field-oriented control (FOC). Instead of block commutation as with common controllers (ESC) it generates sinusoidal currents, so the motor runs quietly and smoothly, even very slowly and with holding torque at standstill. With 8 to 30 V, 2.5 A per phase and control signals for 3.3 V and 5 V it suits Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi; the software comes from the open source library SimpleFOC.

Recommended Accessories:
