Question from a newbie

[jameskoo87]

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate MATLAB with Arduino to controll 3 motors (2 servos, 1 dc brushless motor)

I managed to control 2 servos WITHOUT the motorshield.

However, I'm having a trouble controlling the DC brushless motor.
DC brushless motor is connected to the ESC cable that has three wires (ground,power,signal)

I connected the signal wire and ground to the Arduino and sent commands but nothing happened.

Does anyone know how to control ESC with arduino in MATLAB environment?

Thank you!

If it is an ESC designed for RC use, you hook it up the same as a servo. If you use the Servo library, changing the 'angle' of the servo will change the speed of the motor.
