NickN replied to NickN's discussion What exactly do I control when sending a certain PWM signal to an ESC?
"Thank you for that explanation, it's very insightful.

One thing I still don't quite understand: What causes the current flowing through the motor to increase with increasing load? Since the ESC apparently does not change its behavior depending on…"

NickN replied to NickN's discussion What exactly do I control when sending a certain PWM signal to an ESC?
"Certainly the PWM signal plays a role. It ultimately determines what the ESC and the motor does.

I'm assuming the ESC runs some closed-loop control loop, where the input (i.e. the setpoint) is the PWM signal. My question is, what is the feedback…"

Hi AllI want to ask a question that, after reading about it and watching YouTube videos, I still don't have a clear understanding about:What exactly do I control when sending a certain PWM signal to an ESC? Is it thrust? RPM? Current?An example:I…

Hi allI realize that there are a lot of questions regarding which motors/ESCs/props to buy on here, but I've had some problems with my setup recently so I'd like some help on improving it.My requirements are as follows: I am flying with a small quad…
