Make Your Own Sensored ESC

In this project I will show you how a sensored BLDC Motor from an electric bike works and how we can create our own sensored ESC in order to let it rotate. Let's get started!

The video gives you all the information you need to create your own sensored ESC. But you can get some additional information in the next steps.

Here you can find the schematic and pictures of my completed circuit. Feel free to use them as a reference.

Here you can download the code for the sensored ESC. Make sure to upload it before attaching the motor wires.

You did it! You just created your own Sensored ESC!
