escDesign

This file consists the schematic of an ESC and its PCB design in KICAD The electronic speed controller (ESC) is an essential part of an electric propulsion system's hardware. It acts like the brain of the system by telling the motor how fast to go based on data signals it receives from the flight controller. ESCs are available for either brushed (DC) or brushless (AC) motors. Brushed motors are most commonly used in toy-class planes, multicopters, rovers, boats, and balance bots. Most other larger vehicles use brushless speed controllers. This repo consists the KICAD files of an ESC required to control the motors of a quadcopter

Questions

How big is the EscDesign PCB?

It measures 75.9 × 59.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EscDesign use?

32 parts, built around the LM311. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the EscDesign KiCad files?

From the AVSRAVITEJA/escDesign repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is escDesign.kicad_pcb and its schematic escDesign.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EscDesign design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AVSRAVITEJA before reusing the design.
