I want to show you in this "Instructable" how to control a brushless motor with Arduino.

Step 1: Parts Required

1.- Arduino UNO

2.- Battery and Compact Charger

3.- ESC

4.- BrushLess Motor

5.- Battery and Motor/ESC connectors

5.- Breadboard

6.- Wire

7.- PC with Arduino IDE

I bought some components by Internet:

1.- BrushLess Motor/ESC/Propeller/connectors set:

2.- Battery

3.- Compact Charger

Step 2: Battery Charge

We need to charge de battery, then connect the charger to the power and 3 green LED lights will illuminate. Then connect the battery to the charger and 3 red LED lights will illuminate. When the 3 battery cells are 100% the 3 green LED lights will illuminate.

Step 3: Soldering Connectors

We need to solder some components:

1.- BrushLess Motor

2.- ESC

Step 4: Upload Arduino Program Control

We need to load the program that controls the ESC/Motor

- Code:

/*Coded by Marjan Olesch

*/ 

#include <servo.h>

int value = 0; // set values you need to zero

Servo firstESC, secondESC; 

//Create as much as Servoobject you want. 
//You can controll 2 or more Servos at the same time

void setup() {

  firstESC.attach(9);    // attached to pin 9 I just do this with 1 Servo
  Serial.begin(9600);    // start serial at 9600 baud

}

void loop() {

//First connect your ESC WITHOUT Arming. Then Open Serial and follo Instructions
 
  firstESC.writeMicroseconds(value);
 
  if(Serial.available()) 
    value = Serial.parseInt();    // Parse an Integer from Serial

}
