Sensorless BLDC Driver

Sensorless brushless motor controller using PIC18F1230 (XC8)  

• Use only PIC and FET
• PWM  
• ADC

---

Features(Implemented)  

• Open-loop drive.
• Closed-loop drive(seamless transfer from open-loop).
• Closed-loop lock detection(back to open-loop).  
• Speed control by EUSART input.

---

Variables(Implemented)  

• Direction of rotation  
• Open-loop duty  
• Open-loop initial speed
• Open-loop acceleration
• Open-loop to closed-loop speed
• Closed-loop speed
• Closed-loop acceleration
