Begginer robot club and we have a BEC Multirotor ESC robotshop.com/en/tmotor-uav- … 100kv.html] we want to turn it on from an arduino. do we hook up the signal wires to digital or analog? and could you give us an example code to turn it on?
Hi rustythorn,
Those R/C brushless controllers (ESC) need a PWM (so a PWM capable pin) signals just like a R/C servo to operate.
You can use the standard Servo library to control them. The ESC will not Arm itself unless he see a minimum signal which will slightly vary from manufacturers.
HERE is a nice post about a similar setup.
thanks a bunch, it worked great!
Perfect, if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
You can as well post your project on the forum, that might help other users.
