Spend the day working on getting one of the half bridges working. Ended up going through quite a number of gate drivers until I realised that I was putting them on the board the wrong way round oops! Using an Arduino Due to generate a differential 8kHz signal for testing.

Now that I have one working half bridge I can test out various values of gate resistors to keep the inductive spikes down and reduce the emi from the board. Once I find a usable value I will then populate the other 2 phases and wire it up to an old vesc to see if it will do anything.

The quality of the boards is excellent for how cheap they were.
