Applications
- Propeller drives for light unmanned aerial vehicles.
- Pump and propeller drives for unmanned watercraft.
Features
- Excellent dynamic characteristics.
- Regenerative braking and active freewheeling.
- Continuous power output up to 350 W.
- Extremely lightweight, only 10 g without wires.
- Optional RPM control loop (RPM governor).
- Embedded self diagnostic routines and health status reporting.
- Highly configurable.
- Low noise and low current ripple.
- Supported interfaces:
- CAN (UAVCAN), with optional dual redundancy.
- UART.
- RCPWM (analog PWM interface widely used in robotics).
- High quality assurance:
- Every manufactured unit undergoes a rigorous testing procedure. The testing log for each produced unit is available on the web.
- Protection against unlicensed (counterfeit) production by means of a digital signature installed on every manufactured unit.
- Open source firmware – Sapog (3-clause BSD license).
