I have been working on a Longboard project that uses a Wii Nunchuck, an Arduino and an ESC to make the motor rotate.
The issue I have is when the bluetooth signal is lost, the Arduino stops sending signals to the ESC and it "STOPS". That is not a problem, the problem is that it stops to quickly throwing me out of the board.
Do you have an Idea of what to do to stop that from happening?
I think what happens is that when the signal is lost Arduino resets itself that breaks the longboard. It could be fixed by either preventing Arduino from resetting or I need to find a ESC that does not stop so quickly.
Longboard is like a skateboard but bigger. I attached a pic of it so you can see.
I have played a little with the soft shutdown but that did not work. I asked HobbyKing (the place I bought the esc) but they said that all their esc are programmed to stop if signal is lost.
