A Brushless DC motor controller with position and speed control. Uses a SAMC21 microcontroller. Uses the DRV830X gate driver. Uses the TLV493D magnetic sensor to read the shaft position and speed. CAN-FD bus for a reliable communication network. The board is designed to be used in robots with 3 major ideas in mind: - Size (33mm x 33mm): Smaller size allows better integration in different projects. - Price: Robots have lots of motors, has to be cheap to allow affordable robots. - Modularity: Has to be able to adapt easily to different motors. The board has the magnetic sensor integrated, which calculates the shaft position. A magnet has to be attached to the motor shaft, and the board has to be located behind the motor. This eliminates the need of having a bulky mechanical encoder, in exchange of some precision and speed loss. This project is in a very early state. I welcome all comments, help and tips!

Just changed the name to something more related: OTRESC, being OTR the first 3 letters of my username+ ESC being Electronic Speed Controller. LLM was a stupid acronim reused from an old project were I was using the same magnetic sensor.
