# Arduino *Simple**FOC**Shield* *v1.3.3*

This is an open-source low-cost Brushless DC (BLDC) motor driver board intended primarily for low-power FOC applications up to 5Amps. The board is fully compatible with the Arduino UNO and all the boards with the standard Arduino headers. The *Simple**FOC**Shield*, in combination with the *Simple**FOC**library* provides user-friendly way to control BLDC motors both in hardware and software.

### Features
- **Plug & play**: In combination with Arduino *Simple**FOC**library* - [github](https://github.com/simplefoc/Arduino-FOC)
- **Low-cost**: Price of €15 - [Check the pricing](https://www.simplefoc.com/simplefoc_shield_product) 
- **Max power 120W** - max current 5A, power-supply 12-24V
   - Designed for Gimbal motors with the internal resistance >10 Ωs. 
- **Stackable**: running 2 motors in the same time
- **Encoder?Hall sensors interface**: Integrated 3.3kΩ pullups (configurable)
- **I2C interface**: Integrated 4.7kΩ pullups (configurable)
- **Configurable pinout**: Hardware configuration - soldering connections
- **Arduino headers**: Arduino UNO, Arduino MEGA, STM32 Nucleo boards...
- **Open Source**: Fully available fabrication files - [how to make it yourself](https://docs.simplefoc.com/arduino_simplefoc_shield_fabrication)

### New Features 
- **Full standard arduino headers**: 6pin + 2x8pin + 10 pin
- **L6234 circuit change**: by <i>@MrAndersen</i> [community link](https://community.simplefoc.com/t/simplefocshield-schematic-c4-capacitor/193)
- **SMT Assembly**: Board fully compatible with JLCPCB smt assembly. You can order it fully assembled from their website - everything except the headers and terminals.
- **Bugfix**: [Ground plane not connected](https://community.simplefoc.com/t/motor-makes-loud-noise/316/11) on version v1.3.3 - corrected in 12/2020
