VESC based most power dense controller (INNOTRACE Shrimp for middrive motors)

[TPEHAK]

Have you prepared input lines for hall sensors also? It will not be possible, to place an encoder on the tip of the motor shaft on a hubmotor. The tip will not be magnitized anyway. Of course you could run the motor sensorless with the VESC in principle, but most hubmotors will have hallsensors installed.

Yes, you just solder the hall sensor wires here and select hall sensor mode in the VESC Tool.

HALL U is soldering pad #16
HALL V is soldering pad #17
HALL W is soldering pad #18

GND is soldering pad #12
+5V is soldering pad #15

@TPEHAK :do you have plans to put this into production?

 

[TPEHAK]

No, but anyone can produce those. You can ask VESC Labs for instance if they want to manage production, I am sure they will be happy to make some money.

Alrighty guys, here are the updated KiCAD files and Gerber files. There are no big changes in the Gerber files, both the old and the new should work fine. I removed the solder paste from the AMPLIFIER board terminals so you do not need to remove the solder paste manually after using the stencil if you are going to follow the way I soldered the board.

There are also CAD models for the 3D printed parts in the achieve for integrating this controller into Bafang M620 motor
