The CFOCer Black and Gold Edition is a brushless motor controller with Field Oriented Control for sensored and sensorless brushless DC motors. It is based on an adaptation of the VESC version 6 by shamansystems and further modified by me for improved manufacturability.

Due to the global pandemic and resulting chip shortage, many components have been unavailable and prices have risen substantially. For example, the components I used on the CFOCer Green Edition boards are now significantly more expensive. One upside is that I was able to source better key components for the CFOCer Black and Gold Edition at a cost comparable to the off-brand components on the CFOCer Green Edition.
