If you want a shield type board this version is for you, if not new version of the controller: https://hackaday.io/project/174135-dagor-brushless-motor-controller

The Janus Controller is a Brushless motor driver with an on-board magnetic encoder, a three-phase MOSFET driver, three MOSFET half-bridges, a temperature sensor and current sensing resistors.


Janus Controller was designed to work with the ESP32 Dev-Kit1 as a shield so that the programing of the board is easier for hobbyist and students, and to bring down the overall price of the board. This board can be used to drive brushless motors as an open-loop system or use the on-board encoder to drive the motors as a closed-loop system and use more complicated algorithms, such as Field Oriented Control for position and velocity control. I recommend using the Simple FOC Arduino library as it has shown to work perfectly for position and velocity control and is easily implementable, but you can always use your own algorithm.

What are these mistakes? How to solve this problem? thank you!

Yes, Paul found a mistake on the mcpwm.h file as shown on his project log. Thanks Paul.

How much does it cost to produce the controller?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Have you tried out your new board?  I was wondering whether your changes have meant that current sensing is now working?

  Are you sure? yes | no

I don't think I will order the corrected version of this controller. At the moment I'm putting all my resources in the following version of my BLDC controller. https://hackaday.io/project/174135-dagor-brushless-motor-controller
