Introduction: Make Your Own Sensored ESC
In this project I will show you how a sensored BLDC Motor from an electric bike works and how we can create our own sensored ESC in order to let it rotate. Let's get started!
Step 1: Watch the Video!
The video gives you all the information you need to create your own sensored ESC. But you can get some additional information in the next steps.
Step 2: Order Your Components!
