Knowledge — ESC

Step 1: Connect the tuning board and power the ESC. First, connect the tuning board to the USB data cable and insert the data cable into the computer.The yellow line of the ESC signal line corresponds to the D3 interface of the tuning board, and the black line corresponds to the GND interface of the tuning board.Then power the ESC. Battery requirements: The battery voltage range must be between 20v-50.2v. Otherwise, the ESC cannot be connected or burnt out.As shown in the picture below, just connect: Step 2: Open the compressed package, find the software application and open it; Step...

This article explains the difference between unidirectional ESC and bidirectional ESC First, we demonstrate bidirectional ESC, using 30A Feather ESC and 16V power supply voltage. Turn on the remote control and connect the ESC plug to the power plug. Connect the three-phase line of the propeller to the three-phase line of the ESC. Connect the signal line of the ESC to the receiver, and insert the signal line into channel 1 or channel 2. Pay attention to the direction of connection. The white line is connected in the direction marked with numbers. After connecting the power supply, wait for the...

This article explains the difference between ESCs with BEC and without BECWhat is BEC?BEC: Power module, used to power servos or receivers. The BEC voltage of general ESCs is 5v, 7v, 12v, and the current is 1a, 2a, etc. (Power supply module) ESCs with BEC power module: This type of ESC has a built-in BEC module, and does not require an external BEC. It can directly obtain power from the battery and power the receiver and other control devices through the BEC module without an additional power connection.ESCs without BEC power module: This type of ESC needs to be wired...

PWM 1-2ms speed control knob.

It can be used to connect ESC signal lines to control brushless motors or underwater thrusters for operation.

If the ESC of the thruster/motor supports bidirectional, then the speed knob can control the thruster/motor to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
If the ESC of the thruster/motor supports only unidirectional, then it can only control one direction of rotation.

Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC) are an essential component in the world of remote-controlled vehicles. Whether you're into drones, RC cars, or RC boats, understanding the common parameters of an ESC is crucial for optimizing performance. In this blog post, we will explore the key parameters that you should consider when choosing an ESC for your next project. 1. Voltage Rating The voltage rating of an ESC determines the maximum voltage it can handle. It is important to choose an ESC that can handle the voltage of your power source. Exceeding the voltage rating can lead to overheating and damage to...
