        abstract = {BLDC motors are very efficient and reliable. Traditionally, BLDC motor drives apply position sensors (Hall sensors) to sense rotor position for effective commutation. Unfortunately, sensors introduce added cost and complexity, leading to reduced reliability. Sensorless control techniques are favored in order to address these limitations. This paper describes a design and implementation of an efficient sensorless BLDC controller with PIC microcontroller. This system estimates the rotor position based on the generated back Electromotive Force (BEMF) that appears in the windings of BLDC motors. Using these signals, the PIC microcontroller for electronic commutation of a motor controls the switching of three phase inverter. This decreases hardware complexity and costs while allowing for stable and efficient motor operation. Experimental implementation shows smooth motor control and consistent performance across varying operating conditions. The sensorless BLDC motor control method proposed in this paper offers an efficient, simple, and affordable solution that can be used for driving applications: electric vehicles, household equipment, industrial automation, etc.},
