This board is on the bench. Leave your email and you'll be first in when it ships, and your interest helps decide what we build next.
What you'll build
Spin a brushless (BLDC) motor — the kind in drones and EVs — at teaching-friendly RPMs. You'll implement three-phase commutation and back-EMF sensing to track the rotor's position without a separate sensor, all battery-powered. The high-current supply discipline you learned on the servo board pays off here.
It sits on the ACT track: driving the physical world with motors, servos, and high-power lighting under precise control.
The build pipeline
No steps skipped, no black boxes. Each stage is gated on real proof of work: a clean ERC, valid gerbers, a passing bring-up. You finish having actually done the engineering, not just watched it.
