Connecting the hardware

Connecting the SimpleFOCMini to the microcontroller, BLDC motor and power-supply is very straight forward.

There are two versions of the SimpleFOCMini board, v1 and v2.

• V1 - SimpleFOCMini v1 boards include v1.0 and v1.1, which are functionally identical, but thy do differ in pin order.
  They are easy to distinguish:
  • You can easily see the board version indicated on the silkscreen on the board.
  • v1.1 has double GND pins on the first line of the header, while v1.0 has a single GND pin on the first line of the header.
• V2 - SimpleFOCMini v2.3. They are using the DRV8316 driver and have the same PWM/enable pinout as v1.1 but allow for current-sensing and power supply sensing.
