VESC is a fully open source software and firmware, and some hardware, for controlling brushed and brushless motors, named after the creator, Benjamin Vedder, VedderElectronicSpeedController.
The project was made public around Jan. of 2014 on Vedder's website:
A custom BLDC motor controller
A year later (Jan. 2015) the project was named VESC, and anounced on Vedder's website:
VESC – Open Source ESC
Since 2015, the VESC project(software, firmware and hardware) has evolved significantly from It's
beginnings as an RC/E-skate class system, to encompass nearly everything from
<200watt quadcopters, to >250kW car controllers.
Software/firmware wise, this video shows a graphical rendition of the commits made to Github from 2014-2024:
