Are there simpleFOC-s for higher power?

Are there any good simpleFOC-s available for ordering that tolerate higher power?

I found this: link

Are there more?

Yes but you need to order them yourself. Also, what voltage and current you refer to?

Thanks! Possibly 36-48V DC. I checked youtube and found this: DRV8302 Motor Drive Module High Power BLDC Brushless PMSM Drive ST FOC Vector Control Amplifier Board DC 5.5-45V 15A - AliExpress 502

Is my understanding correct that works with 48V DC and simplefoc library? Or are there better ones?

I’ve seen people here working with that driver board, though myself haven’t tried. My second-hand understanding is that yes it would work.

Also, by high power most people here assume you mean something like 100V/200A or higher, to drive a vehicle or at least a scooter. That aliexpress board may be able to push a small skateboard or some other toy no bigger than that.

What’s your use case?

Cheers,

We’d like to do a gym-pulley-like resistance trainer using a BLDC motor. The project is just for fun, meaning that we’d like to maximally use our available equipment and not spend hundreds of dollars on it.

Available equipment:
power supply is limited to 60V/10A/300W
arduino mega

Now we need a not-very-expensive simpleFOC board that doesn’t need to tolerate higher input than our power supply’s output. And if we have found simplefoc board, then we choose as powerful motor as possible that suits with our other equipment.

Can you recommend some suitable simplefoc boards for us?
