DC motor with APM

Posted by kuxz on September 16, 2010 at 9:50pm

I would like to know do I need any component to control a DC brushed motor because I currently have a ESC, DC brushed motor, APM.

Thanks .

    i fail to understand how are you running a DC motor with an ESC? because to my knowledge ESC have 3 power output plugs while DC motors just have 2 power inputs....

    I have tried the following code from the APM library but it seems that the motor does not move . I have connected the ESC pin for signal(yellow colour) to pin 9 of APM. Where do I go wrong?

    #include

    Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
    // a maximum of eight servo objects can be created


    void setup()
    {
    myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
    }


    void loop()
    {

    {
    myservo.write(10); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
    delay(15); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
    }

    {
    myservo.write(0); // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
    delay(15); // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
    }
    }

    how do i go about controlling the ESC? Where can i find some example?

    how do i declare the pin for the esc on the apm board? For eg the esc is connected to the pin OUT1.

    That will work fine. APM works with your ESC, not your motor.
