This project was proposed thanks to the need of controling a BLDC motor to use it for a quad-copter that is being build in ARCOS-LAB using a new ARM microcontroller, the STM32F4-discovery. This hasn't been used for this purpose yet, and it has some differences from his predecessor, the stm32f1vl-discovery
During this project we'll develop a simple model of a controller, that will give the motor rotating speed and adjust it by decreasing or increasing the speed with runtime commands, the idea is to manage it using buttons.
The develop of this controller is the start for a more complex controller with more adequate characteristics for the quad-copter, the advantage of this project consists in using a microcontroller of high performance and low cost, which facilitates the access to this technologies. So once again the utility of open source is shown.
