ODrive is high-performance brushless motor controller firmware (C++) for ODrive v3.x hardware, enabling precise torque, velocity, and position control for robotics. This repository's firmware is no longer under active development (NRND), as new-generation ODrive firmware is closed-source.
Use cases
- control brushless motors for a robot arm
- build a high-performance DIY electric skateboard or drone gimbal
- drive BLDC motors with FOC torque control
- integrate motor controllers over CAN or USB with Python or ROS2
- flash and tune ODrive v3.6 motor controller firmware
When to choose
- you own ODrive v3.x hardware and need open-source firmware
- you want cheap brushless motors in high-performance robotics projects
- you need torque/velocity/position control with encoder feedback
When to avoid
- you need firmware for ODrive Pro, S1, or Micro - it is not publicly available
- you expect active development or new features for v3.x
- you need a general-purpose motor controller for non-ODrive hardware
