Help with building BlueESC from scratch

Blue Robotics Products Speed Controllers (ESCs)
1

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to build the BlueESC from scratch using the open-source files on the GitHub repo and have run into a couple of gaps.

1. Firmware & Hardware Version Correspondence

The GitHub repo seems to have Rev5 as the latest hardware release, but I’m not entirely sure which version of the tgy firmware corresponds to it. Specifically:

  • Is the blueesc target in the tgy firmware fork still current and aligned with Rev5?

  • Were there any firmware changes between Rev4 and Rev5 (or Rev6 if that exists) that I should be aware of?

2. Unspecified BOM Components

Looking at the schematic and readme, a few components aren’t fully specified by part number. The ones I’m stuck on:

  • Ceramic Resonator - frequency is clearly 16 MHz, but the exact part number/package isn’t called out. Is it a CSTNE16M0V530000R0 or something else?

  • Schottky Diodes - used in the gate drive/bootstrap section; the schematic shows them but doesn’t specify a part number.

    Is there a more detailed BOM available anywhere, or is the Eagle BOM export the only reference?

    I am aware that this version of the ESC has been discontinued but the project is great in terms of space efficeincy and these missing details are a real blocker would really appreciate any help here!
