MKS ESP32 FOC V2.0 Dual Motor Driver Board – ESP32-Based BLDC FOC Controller
Product Description
The MKS ESP32 FOC V2.0 is an advanced and highly integrated Field-Oriented Control (FOC) motor driver board designed for precise and efficient control of brushless DC (BLDC) motors. Powered by the ESP32 WROOM 32D, this board combines dual-channel motor control, high-precision current sensing, multiple motor feedback interfaces, and wireless connectivity in a compact design.
Unlike single-motor controllers, the MKS ESP32 FOC V2.0 supports two BLDC motors, making it suitable for robotic systems, gimbals, balancing robots, automation equipment, and other applications requiring synchronized or independent motor control.
The board uses a high-precision INA240A2 current-sensing chip for real-time current measurement. Accurate current feedback is important for FOC-based control because it allows the controller to regulate motor torque and improve smoothness, response, and stability.
The MKS ESP32 FOC V2.0 supports multiple feedback options including Hall sensors and magnetic encoders through SPI, I2C, ABI, and Analog interfaces. This provides flexibility when working with different BLDC motors and position-sensing systems.
With a 12V–24V DC input, up to 12A total peak current, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and compact 52 × 52mm PCB dimensions, the board is suitable for both development and advanced motor-control projects.

Working Principle
The MKS ESP32 FOC V2.0 uses Field-Oriented Control to provide precise control over the torque, speed, and position of compatible BLDC motors.
The ESP32 processes control commands and feedback information while the motor-driver circuitry controls the two three-phase motor outputs. Current feedback from the INA240A2 sensing circuit allows the controller to monitor motor current and optimize the FOC control loop.
Motor position can be determined using Hall sensors or supported magnetic encoders. Depending on the selected feedback device, the board can receive position information through SPI, I2C, ABI, or Analog interfaces.
The two motor channels can be used for independent or coordinated motion-control applications.
Dual Motor Control
The V2.0 board is specifically designed for two-motor applications, making it suitable for systems where two BLDC motors need to operate together.
Typical examples include:
- Two-wheel balancing robots
- Dual-axis gimbals
- Robotic joints
- Differential-drive systems
- Dual motor actuators
- Synchronized motion mechanisms
The actual usable current and motor power depend on motor characteristics, cooling, supply voltage, operating duty cycle, and environmental conditions.
Current Sensing
The board features an INA240A2 precision current-sensing chip and a 1mΩ sampling resistor for online motor-current detection.
Accurate current feedback helps the FOC controller regulate motor operation and provides better control of torque and motor response.
The specified current detection capability is approximately ±33A, while the practical continuous operating current depends on thermal conditions and board cooling.
Sensor and Encoder Support
The MKS ESP32 FOC V2.0 provides flexible motor-feedback interfaces.
Supported options include:
- Hall sensors
- SPI magnetic encoders
- I2C magnetic encoders
- ABI encoders
- Analog position sensors
This makes the controller adaptable to different BLDC motor configurations and feedback requirements.
Wireless Connectivity
Because the controller is based on the ESP32 WROOM 32D, the board provides integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
Wireless connectivity can be used for:
- Remote motor control
- Configuration
- Telemetry
- Robotics communication
- Wireless monitoring
- IoT motor-control systems
