[CNX-Software] - BeagleConnect QuadESC 4-channel BLDC motor controller uses TI’s AM13E23019-based Torque module

BeagleBoard.org has introduced the BeagleConnect QuadESC, an open-source 4-channel BLDC motor controller/carrier board built around the BeagleConnect Torque SoM. The SoM features TI’s 200 MHz AM13E23019 Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller with a trigonometric math unit (TMU) and a TinyEngine neural-network accelerator for edge AI applications. The QuadESC carrier board supports four three-phase BLDC motor outputs, twelve current and twelve voltage sensing channels, four temperature sensors, and battery voltage monitoring. It also includes an eight-pin flight controller connector with DShot, telemetry, and current reporting signals, along with SWD debugging, a buzzer connector, and onboard power regulation. BeagleConnect Torque SoM The Torque SoM can also be integrated with custom carrier boards for robotics, motor control, and CAN-connected applications. It provides the processing, sensing, and communication interfaces, while external hardware supplies the motor power. Specifications: Main MCU– Texas Instruments AM13E23019 CPU core – Arm Cortex-M33 MCU @ 200 MHz with FPU Memory – 128KB [...]
