Hey everyone,
I'm trying to build a 3 phase brushless motor, however I'm in a bit of a quandary. I'd like to make a simple 3 coil motor to save myself some time making coils, however I'm unsure of whether or not I need sensors. On all the diagrams I've seen of 3 coil brushless motors, 3 hall effects sensors are placed individually between the coils. Does a 3 coil brushless motor need hall effect sensors? Would a standard 3 phase motor controller for R/C applications work on said 3 coil brushless motor, provided it has the correct voltage and amperage?
Thanks, hopefully you all can help clear things up.
