Description:

This is a side project of Open-BLDC (http://open-bldc.esden.net) for creating an open source (Free with a non propriatary license) alternative Firmware for Mikrokopter (http://www.mikrokopter.de) Brushless DC Motor Controllers. The goal is also to make a clean, maintainable and easy to understand codebase for experimentation.

Goals:

• Clean well structured code.
• Find out what concepts can be implemented on the MK ESC
  • Adaptive timing
  • Active breaking (probably not possible)
  • Speed controller
  • Current controller

Status:

As of 2009-02-16:

What works:
-----------
* Motor start routine works.
* Comparator based commutation detection based commutation works.

Known problems:
---------------

* Motor start routine is not 100% reliable.

* In low speeds the commutation detection based commutation skipps
  sometimes.
