code of ESC

the code :
#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo;

void arm(){
setSpeed(0);
delay(1000); //delay 1 second, some speed controllers may need longer
}

void setSpeed(int speed){

int angle = map(speed, 0, 100, 0, 180);
myservo.write(angle);
}

void setup()
{
myservo.attach(9);
arm();
}

void loop()
{
int speed;
for(speed = 0; speed <= 100; speed += 5) {
setSpeed(speed);
delay(1000);
}
// sweep back down to 0 speed.
for(speed = 95; speed > 0; speed -= 5) {
setSpeed(speed);
delay(1000);
}
}

all work ok with me .. but i want know what is must to edit from this code to can remove the pot ?

2

There's nothing in that code that has anything to do with the pot in the first place.

3

u mean if remove pot it will work without any edit in code ?

4

Well what line in that code do you think relate to a pot?

5

idk

6

There isn't even a line that relates to a input.

so can i use this connection now

without any modified in code ?

You should work through the code line by line to answer my question. Answer is "none", as Isaac96 points out:

Isaac96:
There isn't even a line that relates to a input.

So that code will not care if there's a pot attached or not.

Well you've removed the 5V supply to the Arduino from the ESC's BEC.

You'll have to have USB plugged in therefore.

Actually I'd never trust the BEC in a cheap ESC to power anything in the first place, I've seen ESC's
explode and die spectacularly...

i use EMAX esc and it has high quality

I use Turnigy Plush. :slight_smile: But I really killed one of my 3S LiPo batteries (it seems to have been crumpled) and the voltage dropped to 6V. I was wondering why the receiver wasn't turning on.
