Autoquad ESC32 Features:

- STM32F103 72MHz ARM 32-bit Cortex(TM) M3 MCU

- All N-FET design with gate drivers

- 2S through 5S battery voltage

- Option to power logic side via UART or PWM IN at +5V

- CAN transceiver hardware support onboard

- Firmware written completely in C

- Cortex SWD connector pads for real-time debugging

- Communications ports: PWM IN / UART / I2C / CAN Bus

- Communications protocols: PWM IN / CLI / binary / 1-wire / I2C** / CAN**

- 4KHz to 64KHz PWM out

- Current sensing / limiting with real shunt resistor

- Virtual current limiter

- Regenerative braking (experimental)

- Closed loop control modes

- Lot of available RAM / FLASH for experimentation and development

** I2C and CAN drivers not yet released!
