This document is meant to provide a guide on how to assemble the EasyController3. While some electronics experience is required, hopefully this lowers the barrier to entry.
- $100-200 USD to buy parts and boards
- A computer to install the Raspberry Pi Pico SDK on
- A soldering iron and associated tools
- A benchtop power supply capable of ~5 amps for testing
- A BLDC motor
- A throttle
- High-current wire and connectors for power and motor phase connections
- Low-current wire and connectors for hall sensors and throttle connections
This respository includes Gerber files which can be directly submitted to PCB manufacturers. We recommend Chinese manufacturers such as JLCPCB, which typically ship worldwide and deliver in one week for $30 USD.
The repository includes a Bill of Materials (BOM) with Digikey part numbers to order from. Digikey ships quickly and internationally. The parts may also be available from other vendors.
Many parts may be substituted, such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors. However, most of the ICs cannot be substituted without changing the design.
