Any chances of buying a few of these?

I'm not sure yet. Let me make and test a few prototypes. The PSOC4 is not an easy system to use. I will sell/open source these though https://hackaday.io/project/165217-foc-brushless-actuator-arduino-compatible

That is a pretty dense packing of components, especially all the connectors. Good job!

Thanks. The aim was to make it single sided to make mass production easier/cheaper (if it's good enough)
