Ken mentioned a new BLM controller...

during the livestream, last night.

Are there any details or a sneak preview available for this?

  • BLM controller?

    We talked about an e-ink display and code support, and a robot controller for the Micro:bit.

    Was there something else I was talking about? I also gave away our WiFi logins over YouTube Live and made the IT Guy nervous.

  • Aha - must be the three-phase brushless motor controller for Hoverboard motors.

    Yes, in the works!

  • I wasn't able to watch.

    An e-ink display? When? (Code support is expected.)

    Yeah...Hall effect commutation, by a Prop? Or maybe those motors don't have Hall effects.

    No, they don't have Hall effect devices. ESCs actually make spot measurements of induced EMF in order to determine motor phase.
