Open Source DC or BLDC controller

Hey guys,

Is there currently an open source solution for DC or BLDC motor control? something like RAMPS?

I've looked and can't find anything...

DC motors can be controller just like heaters ... given your driver comes with a flyback diode. For a minimalistic example see SevenSwitch, controllers with this integrated are STB Electronics, Generation 7 Electronics and probably a few more. But not RAMPS or Sanguinololu.

I'm using a stack of Arduino shields DC motor control, firmware at https://github.com/ezrec/BrundleFab-firmware

It is very big and bloaty, and the DC motor control is very experimental, but the Axis_DCMotor.h class contains all the magic.

I'm working on velocity control at the moment (for accurate multi-axis movements), but it's still a work in progress.

I'm using the Adafruit MotorShield V1 or DC motor control, as they are directy tied to the PWMs, and I can update them with just a port write, as opposed to I2C via the Adafruit Motor Shield V2 devices.
