Make Your Own Sensored ESC

by GreatScottLab

In this project I will show you how a sensored BLDC Motor from an electric bike works and how we can create our
own sensored ESC in order to let it rotate. Le t ' s g e t s t a rt e d!

Step 1: Watch the Video!

The video gives you all the information you need to create your own sensored ESC. But you can get some additional
information in the next steps.

Hi! Can you tell me what's de purpose of the 74hc14?

Sir how to buy this product

The image of the electronic board is not clear

hello i made this circuit its wit emf detection and all N-mosfets
(https://simple-circuit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018...
but i dont like it. i like your project more because it use the hall censors. but i want to use all N-
mosfets i am using LM5109 hi low fet driver instead of the drives in the link. can i use your adruino
code to drive my all N-mosfets?

Greetings to All my friends!

Hardware:
I used Ir2110 High-low side mosfet Driver for irf3205 Mosfet, Used 6 irf3205 on highside and
lowside to make "3ph- H-bridge".

Code:
Used 32khz pwm on lower side mosfets for current chopping and digitalWrite command for high
side. digitalRead command hall sensors and call sequenced function for rotation.
Motor is not rotating smooth at low speed. Please Help

I think it would be best for you to use the Ir2110 high-low side Mosfet drivers and use N Channel
transistors.
Did you work on it?
Can you plz share.?
What changes should I make so that I can adapt this to a In-hub BLDC 48V 500W motor?
It is powered using Samsung ICR18650-26J cells which is in 13S4P configuration.
What is the power rating that your circuit can handle, because I have a 250W BLDC motor and
planning to build an ESC for my motor.
How can i change the direction of motor in this esc

why have not you written anything in void loop in the code. please tell me soon because i am
making like this one, sir.
Great project! although I don't really understand what "TIMER1_COMPB_vect" is intended for...
(Lowering Effective Voltage? as you said in the video). More study ahead...
