Thanks for your reply. The comment about not needing the loop makes sense and appears rather obvious once it is pointed out... So this also answers the question why the ESC will rearm without rerunning the code.
Thanks

Dave replied to skelligs's discussion Arduino control of ESC"A couple of comments.
- It might be easier to use servo.writeMicroseconds().
- Once you do the myservo.attach(), a PWM pulse stream will be sent continuously to the ESC. So, in setup, you might try:

Hi -I am spending some time looking at how an Arduino can be used to control a brushless motor. I am using an Arduino Duemilanove, a Hacker x-5 Pro ESC, and a Hacker A-10 brushless motor.I am able to both arm the ESC and use it to operate the motor, but I am running into a few items that I don't quite understand that are mostly related to using the Servo library.This first sketch is used to arm the ESC and works as expected:// This sketch arms the Hacker X-5 Pro ESCint escPin = 9;int arm =…See More
