Constructors

ElectronicSpeedController(IPin, Frequency)

Creates a new ElectronicSpeedController object.

Declaration
public ElectronicSpeedController(IPin pwmPin, Frequency frequency)

Parameters

Type Name Description
IPin pwmPin

A PWM capable pin.
Frequency frequency

The frequency of the PWM signal. All ESCs should support 50Hz, but some support much higher frequencies for finer-grained speed control.

Dispose()

Driver for Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) typically used to control motors via PWM signals. To use, you generally have to calibrate the ESC through the following steps:

  1. Depower the ESC, set the power to the intended maximum point (e.g., 1.0).
  2. Power the ESC and wait for "happy tones" to indicate a good power supply, followed by possibly two beeps to indicate the max power limit set.
  3. Set the ESC power to the intended minimum power point (e.g., 0.0), and the ESC should provide one beep for every LiPo cell (3.7V) of power supplied, followed by a long beep.
  4. Optionally, for some ESCs, arm it by calling the Arm() method, which will drop the power below 0.0.
