====== VESC - An open-source/hacker-friendly BLDC ESC ======

Next generation robots, drones and motorized scooter/skateboard/e-bike projects need efficient and resilient BLDC controllers, so if you're also looking for a solid open-source brushless motor speed controller (BLDC ESC) for your project or knowledge/inspiration to bootstrap your own, then you most definitely want to have a look at [[http://vedder.se/2015/01/vesc-open-source-esc/|VESC]].

It's a full open-source breed where [[https://github.com/vedderb/bldc-hardware|hardware]], [[https://github.com/vedderb/bldc|firmware]] and [[https://github.com/vedderb/bldc-tool|support-software]] are available on github and no Windows or other crappy, proprietary systems are required for development or tuning/configuration.
