Bluejay is embedded firmware for Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) that control brushless motors in multirotor drones. It processes DShot digital signals (150/300/600) to regulate motor speed, provides bidirectional DShot telemetry for RPM data, and implements motor commutation, power management, and safety features. The architecture is a monolithic 8051 assembly program built for SiLabs EFM8 BB2/BB51 MCUs, using a superloop design with interrupt handlers for real-time signal processing. Key components include DShot decoding/encoding, six-step motor commutation, and a cooperative scheduler for background tasks like telemetry transmission and temperature monitoring.
OpenFFBoard is an open-source force feedback interface board designed for simulation devices like steering wheels and joysticks. The firmware provides force feedback effects via USB HID to gaming/simulation software while processing inputs from encoders, analog sources, buttons, and CAN bus. It features a modular architecture based on FreeRTOS with TinyUSB USB stack, supporting multiple motor drivers (PWM, TMC4671, ODrive, VESC, RMD) and a command interface for runtime configuration. Settings persist to flash/EEPROM via an abstraction layer with automatic registration. The project targets STM32 microcontrollers (F407VG, F407VG_DISCO, F411RE) and includes extensive hardware abstraction layers, plugin architecture for extensibility, and clean C++ wrappers for FreeRTOS primitives.
This repository provides a comprehensive, production-grade Field-Oriented Control (FOC) library for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) targeting embedded microcontrollers (STM32G4, CH32V3). It is written in C and organized into modular algorithm files covering coordinate transforms (Clarke, Park), PWM modulation (SVPWM, SPWM), multiple control strategies (PID, LADRC, SMC, STA), sensor feedback (encoder, Hall, sensorless observers like HFI, SMO, NLFO), and advanced features (MTPA, field weakening, harmonic suppression, cogging calibration, dead-time compensation, feedforward, disturbance observer, parameter identification). The architecture is driven by interrupt-based control loops (high-frequency current loop, low-frequency state machine, and serial communication loop) with compile-time configuration via macro switches and user-supplied hardware abstraction layers. The repository also includes open-source hardware designs (schematic and PCB for a robot-joint motor driver), a QT-based host computer application, Simulink simulation models, and a complete STM32G4 example project. Although the library contains multiple coexisting versions and v4.0.0 is partially incomplete, the core modules are well-crafted, independently reusable, and demonstrate advanced control theory implementation suitable for robotics, drones, industrial servos, and electric tools.
