Abstract: The article is devoted to the features of the circuit solutions development for noise-resistant electronic speed controllers of brushless electric motors for unmanned aircraft. It analyzes the operating features, that allowed to formulate the technical requirements for a whole class of devices. When analyzing the state-of-the-art, it was concluded that the development of a solution with full program control is highly relevant. The basic principles for controlling a brushless electric motor, recommended for constructing a regulator, are presented. As a practical solution, a structural and circuit diagram has been developed describing the operation of the main elements. In the conclusion, the practical results of testing this regulator are considered. The assessment at the current stage is provided, as well as the ways to improve and develop the regulator in the near future.

Keywords: electronic speed controller, BLDC motor, unmanned aircraft, interference-resistant solutions, software control, microcontroller
