README
README.mdSimpleFOC Dual ESC
This repository contains the hardware design files for a compact dual-motor BLDC controller built around the SimpleFOC ecosystem.
The board is designed to run two 3-phase motors independently with field-oriented control (FOC) using an STM32G4 microcontroller.
What the device does
The controller takes a single high-voltage DC input and drives two BLDC motors through two independent 3-phase power stages.
Each motor stage uses a dedicated gate driver and current-sense path so firmware can regulate torque/current, speed, and position.
At a high level, the board:
- Converts a DC supply (up to 36 V, per current spec draft) into PWM-driven 3-phase outputs for Motor 1 and Motor 2
- Uses dual DRV8323-based driver stages for 6-PWM control of each motor
- Measures phase/motor current for closed-loop control and protection
- Interfaces with Hall sensors for rotor position feedback
- Exposes control/debug interfaces including I2C, SPI headers, USB-C, reset, and programming pins
Hardware highlights
- MCU: STM32G474CBTx (FOC-capable Cortex-M4)
- Power input: XT60 connector footprint, board marked 36V MAX
- Motor outputs: Two MR60 3-phase motor connectors
- Board outline: 50 mm × 50 mm (from KiCad PCB edge cuts)
- Power stage: Dual 3-phase inverter architecture (6 MOSFETs per motor stage)
