Interfacing an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) with a microcontroller
Hi!!!
i want to connect an electronic speed control i.e. a TEU-101BK(Tamiya's) with the PIC to be able to make my remotely controlled car into a robot...
now the problem is that i dont know the protocol of teu-101bk i.e. what signals does the RF receiver send to the the teu-101bk. does it use PWM??? or something else and whats the protocol if it does that... if i know this, i will be able to replace the TEU-101bk with a PIC and then do watever i want...i.e. make the car into a robot...hopefully
i know this, that we can do that i.e. use the ESC(electronic speed control) in a custom way for robotic applications...i only want to know the protocol...please help me if u have any experience in this regard...

RE: Interfacing an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) with a microcontroller
The speed control always receives PWM. Before the speed control it can be PPM or PWM or some other protocol like delta mod then it gets translated into PWM.
