DuoDrive
DuoDrive is a closed-loop brushed motor driver design to offer simple and affordable open-source hardware and software:
- Running internal PID loop for driving up to 2 brushed motor.
- Increment-type and absolute-type encoder (not yet).
- UART interface and CAN Bus (no firmware support yet).
- Velocity and position control.
You can also use SimpleFOC library to control a single BLDC motor.
For configuring the driver, checkout the Web Tool
Hardware
DuoDrive is designed to handle high current within a small footprint:
- Voltage input: 12-24v, 30V absolute maximum
- Maximum continuous current: 25A
- Power traces are exposed for high current handling, beware of shorts
- Dimensions: 49mm x 75mm
Step file can be found in "3D" folder.
Firmware
The firmware is expected to be stable for now, but further testing still needed for stability-related bugs. Please open a new issues if you encounter any problem. For detailed explanation and methods, check Wiki page.
Documentation

Questions
How big is the DuoDrive PCB?
It measures 49 × 75 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the DuoDrive use?
115 parts, built around the TCAN1044VDDF, UCC27211D, TPS62173DSG and TPS62933DRL. 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 DuoDrive KiCad files?
From the ManhTi3012/DuoDrive repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/duodrive.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/duodrive.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the DuoDrive design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ManhTi3012 before reusing the design.
