BaserK 2:073c5513e2de 9 * Brushless motor control program with L293D.
BaserK 2:073c5513e2de 10 * L293D is a simple, cheap standard DC motor driver and can be found easily.
BaserK 2:073c5513e2de 11 * But I should say that controlling brushless motors with L293D is not efficient
BaserK 2:073c5513e2de 12 * and precise. Proper way to control brushless motor is using an ESC or drivers
BaserK 2:073c5513e2de 13 * like L6235. For the time being I have none of them, but I had a brushless motor that
BaserK 2:073c5513e2de 14 * I wanted to control and see how it works. If you want to do the same, that program
BaserK 2:073c5513e2de 15 * is for you.
