Hello guys ! Sorry if I opened this topic in wrong place. I started a project with my friend, project is a lifeguard robot which works with 2 motors.
My friend ordered a motor with this specs;
KV:4370 KV Max Watt: 820W
Max Current: 66A Power Source: 7.4V (2S) - 11.1V (3S)
ESC specs;
Contionus Current: 45A Power Source: 2-3S LiPo battery or 4-95 NiMH battery SBEC Out : 5.8V/ 3A
Exp Current: 260A (10S) SBEC: Yes
I want to know how can I control 2 motors like this with Arduino( and Which Arduino do I need for this kind of projects), I just want to get the idea how things works so I can set up circuit in my head, beacuse I have another project like this and I dunno electronics( Like what is the meaning of voltage, current in motors etc.).
Guys I translated specs like exactly what I see, so sorry about translation mistakes and bad English.
Please provide links to the motor and ESC. Some of your specifications look very strange.
But if these are brushless motors and ESCs then they are driven by the Arduino like servos using the Servo.h library. Any Arduino will be fine for two of them and the code is simple.
That looks o.k. though I would not personally use a 45A ESC with a motor specified to 66A. With a suitable battery an Arduino will control two of them with no difficulty.
Oh thats nice then and mate What do I need for controlling this big motor, I know some people are using L298 kind of stuff but they are using it when they control little dc motors.
You don't need another motor driver when you have the ESCs. An ESC is a motor driver. All you need is some code. The Knob example program works with ESCs as well as it does with servos. Just connect your ESC in place of the servo.
