Episode Details

We've been cranking out some nice stepper driver chip breakouts - the A4988 (https://www.digikey.com/short/qzmjwjvv) and the TMC2209 (https://www.digikey.com/short/p4fh9mm4) so far! We've gotten more requests for a 'brushless DC' motor driver - particularly a compact one that is sensorless and has digital control. To be honest, we've never used BLDC motors, but hey, it's never a bad time to check out a new technology. Let's see what DigiKey has for a good 'starter' BLDC: We'd like one with the internal FETs, no external sensors required, and digital speed control and configuration.
