Arduino SimpleFOCShiled is a low-cost, modular and user-friendly alternative for running gimbal BLDC motors with FOC algorithm.

Motivation

BLDC motors and especially gimbal motors can be used as a high quality replacement for the regular hobby motors, such as DC servos and stepper motors. FOC controlled gimbal motors enable high precision positioning, very smooth operation and highly responsive and dynamical behaviour.
But, proper low-cost and low-power true FOC supporting boards are still very hard to find today and even may not exist.
Therefore the goal of this board is to provide a modular and simple setup for controlling gimbal motors (up to 120W) using the true FOC control and enable fast prototyping and full exploitation of their capabilities.

This board in combination with the SimpleFOClibrary will give you a simple and intuitive way to control the BLDC motors' current, torque, velocity and position.
