Servo

The command is servo.

servo pin_number,speed  

I say “speed” because you want to use a ESC, really the ESC is just a servo (the receiver and a picaxe chip think its a servo). Speed should be between 75 and 225 (or so). You will have to experiment. Try this:

main:

for b1= 75 to 225 step 1

servo pin_number,b1

pause 100

next b1

for b1= 225 to 75 step -1

servo pin_number,b1

pause 100

next b1

goto  main

I have heard that to engage

I have heard that to engage some ESCs you have to send a small servo position to them at the beginning of your code. Like around 30 or something.

does not work. Works only with servo. ESC only Blinking: (. That means to get some signal just does not work: (
