New Product Ideas / Re: Blushless 3 Phase DC electronic speed controller shield

Adam,
A BLDC controller is a great idea! Size will obviously be one of the limiting factors about what could be possible with this. 10Amps is probably a bit high in this form factor.
One of my thoughts for certain things like this would be to allow for remote "smart" modules, such as sensors, displays and motor controllers. The interface back to the main stack would just be something like I2C so the cabling would be very cheap and simple, and the module itself could be different form factor to allow for heatsinking or different packaging.
I definitely would like to build up the product offerings to exactly what you had mentioned, to have numerous easy to use building blocks, to allow you to put together exactly the functions that you need for your project, whether it's RC, a copter, data loggers, sensor reader, etc.
I'm definitely in favor of proceeding with this, although this is a bit of a higher end module that some of the others planned for the stretch goals, so it probably would not be part of the Kickstarter campaign. I'm definitely interested in your thoughts on what the design of this should be (as well as the IMU).
Thanks!
Ken
