Brushless motors are ubiquitous in RC applications and robotics, but are usually driven with low-cost motor controllers that have to be controlled with RC-style PWM signals and don’t allow for much ...

You can salvage some nice motors out of optical drives but they can be tricky to control. That’s because brushless DC motors require carefully timed signals used in a process called Electronic Speed ...

After purchasing the Qu4tro electric skateboard and finding the controller wasn’t quite as good as the skateboard, Timo Brinschein decided to build his very own using a little Arduino hardware and ...
