ESC - Aeroclub-IITM/UAV GitHub Wiki

A microcontroller

● used to drive and control the Motors

● 3 sets of wires

○ Power Wire : Thick silicon wires from the battery to provide power.

○ Signal Wires : Speed Setpoint encoded through a PWM signal.

○ Motor Wires : 3 wires Connected to motor to drive it , 3 phase output , form depends on ESCs.

● Frequency of 3 Phase Output controls Speed

● Parameters of interest
