connecting brushless motor to APM

Posted by kuxz on August 6, 2010 at 8:31am
i would like to know how do i go about connecting the brushless motor to the APM board?

i currently have a ESC 
2 wires going to +ve and -ve of brushless motor
3 wires (red, black, yellow) going to output 0 of APM board

2 wires going to battery - can i connect this 2 wires to the regulated output voltage (5V) on the APM or do i need to connect to a external battery?

    i currently have a ESC n a brushed motor. Do i still need anymore component in order to control the speed n direction of the brushed motor using APM?

    how do i check whether my motor is a brushed, brushless ? N my ESC only has 2 wire going 2 motor n 3 wires from ESC to the APM.

    is a brushless motor also call a stepper motor?
    is brushless motor = stepper motor?

    Thks!

    I mean can the programming code for controlling the speed of the DC motor to be use on brushless motor?
    will it work the same as the DC motor?

    thanks!
    And i would like to know can i use the code for dc motor for my brushless motor? Will it work?

    You need to connect it to an external battery. Please see the diagram in the manual.
