How to control a brushless motor through a ESC with Arduino. Electronic speed control (most commonly known as ESC) are nasty beasts: not from the controlling software point of view but for the way they need to be powered up, and because they need to be calibrated.
Especially the calibration is important because otherwise the ESC doesn’t know which are the limits of the transmitter, and it cannot control precisely the speed of the motor. Before putting a ESC in any complex Arduino project, it is better to get used to how a ESC works using a very simple sketch. But before seeing the code, let’s see how to wire it up, because care must be taken otherwise nothing will work. Resistance of Wire (Wire Resistance Calculator) DJI Phantom. Qav400. New German UAV.
