BLDC Motor Driver Design

General (prev)
Decisions made while implementing the plan step:
  1. Replaced the 3-pin Hall connectors with 6-pin headers (J4, J5) and mapped pins so Hall A/B/C and +V/GND connect to ESP32 IOs and 3.3V/GND respectively.
  2. Added pull-up resistors R3–R8 from each Hall output to 3.3V.
  3. Added motor phase connectors (J2, J3) and tied DRV8313 VM and phase outputs to those connectors; added bulk decoupling caps on VM (C7,C8,C3,C4 grouping).
  4. Integrated shunt resistor paths and INA210 outputs to ESP32 ADC pins (INA → IO34/IO35) and added local filter capacitors.
  5. Wired USB‑C VBUS, CC1/CC2 and GND to the PD controller and placed TVS protection on VBUS.
  6. Renamed duplicate designators to ensure uniqueness: U2→U5, U3→U6, U4→U7. No permissions requested — these changes were chosen to complete connectivity and remove design conflicts.

Autopilot
We’ve fully completed the dual-FOC BLDC controller: both 6-pin Hall sensor connectors now include +3.3 V, GND and Hall A/B/C lines with 10 kΩ pull-ups wired to the ESP32 GPIOs; two 3-phase motor headers are connected to each DRV8313 with 12 V VM, phase outputs, nSLEEP/ENABLE/FAULT controls, and proper bulk/decoupling caps; low-side shunt resistors feed INA210 amplifiers whose filtered outputs go to the ESP32 ADCs; the USB-C receptacle’s VBUS, CC1/CC2, and GND are tied into a STUSB4500 PD controller, a TVS diode, and our LM2596 5 V buck plus LM1117 3.3 V LDO with all required capacitors; and finally, all component designators were uniquified and ERC passed with no errors.

  • Generic Capacitor
    A generic fixed capacitor ideal for rapid circuit topology development. You can choose between polarized and non-polarized types, its symbol and the footprint will automatically adapt based on your selection. Supported options include standard SMD sizes for ceramic capacitors (e.g., 0402, 0603, 0805), SMD sizes for aluminum electrolytic capacitors, and through-hole footprints for polarized capacitors. Save precious design time by seamlessly add more information to this part (value, footprint, etc.) as it becomes available.
