Connecting a brushless motor with hall sensors and position encoder to arduino

raschemmel:
RC ESCs have current limit (it's even programmable). The default is the rating of the ESC.

But that'll likely be higher than the short-circuit current of this motor. RC motor
windings are usually < 0.05 ohms, BLDCs like this are around 1 ohm.

This motor is about 25W rating, typical ESC will handle 100's of W.
