Board documentation

Technical overview

Board Description

A compact, CM5-form-factor Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) powered by an STM32F051K8U6 MCU and FD6288Q motor driver, running AM32 firmware. Rated up to 6S and 60A, it features an integrated INA238 high-precision current sensor broken out to I2C, and supports convenient firmware flashing and debugging via an ST-Link V2 interface.

Technical specifications

•Dimension: 55mm × 40mm

•Firmware: AM32_AM32REF_F051 (v1.99)

•Core: STM32F051K8U6

•Motor Driver: FD6288Q

•Power: Up to 6S LiPo and 60A continuous

•Form Factor: CM5 stackable layout

•Sensors: INA238 current sensor (I2C breakout)

•Programming: SWDIO & SWDCLK via ST-Link V2

•Shunt Resistor: 5W 0.5mΩ

•Onboard Bulk Capacitor Bank: 47uF

•External Capacitor Recommended: 400uF

•Onboard LDO Regulators: TS3480 (3.3V), HT75xx (5V)

Next Iteration

•Power Regulation: Transitioning to a synchronous switching regulator for the 5V rail to significantly reduce heat dissipation and improve thermal efficiency.

•Interface & Testability: Replacing the 2.54mm header pins with optimized pogo pads for the SWD interface, reducing board footprint and BOM cost.

•Surface Finish: Upgrading to an ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) coating to ensure durable, oxidation-free contact surfaces for reliable pogo-pin programming and probing.

•Telemetry & Feedback: Adding an onboard WS2812 addressable RGB LED for visual status and diagnostic feedback.
