A project log for I2C Controlled, FOC capable BLDC controller

The Qwiic BLDC is an open source, I2C controlled/programmed, FOC-capable, ESC and BLDC driver. It's based on Allegro's A98301 IC.

There are definitely better ways to do this. The Allegro IC seems to be more suited for driving fans instead of precisely actuating BLDCs. There are also projects like SimpleFOCProject to make FOC controllers with microcontrollers like the RP2040. A microcontroller also gives you more flexibility in how you want to control the motor. So, I'll be retiring the project. Still was cool to work on though.
