Control Brushless DC Motor using Arduino and Joystick | Calibrate ESC

In this video I am going to show you how to Control BLDC Motor with Arduino.
We will use ESC to control the BLDC high speed motor. We will calibrate ESC with very easy step.
We will vary the speed of motor using Analog joystick.

I have explained in details each step along with code and connections.

The only guy that tested a brushless motor without servo tester or transmitter

I just had to swing by and give you a huge shoutout for your awesome video on calibrating that motor. I was seriously pulling my hair out trying to figure it out, and your video was a total lifesaver.

Your explanations were super clear, and I finally got that stubborn motor working like a champ, all thanks to you. Seriously, your channel rocks, and I can't thank you enough for being such a legend and helping out folks like me.

Looking forward to more of your killer content in the future!

I was looking for a solution over an hour and i thought that my esc or motor is faulty but luckily i found this video and now it's working.Thanks man keep up the good work🙂

[camDR]

I didn't know about the calibration sketch that could be used. I am about to try that to see if it sorts my problem. Excellent video and explanations, from one teacher to another, thank you.

[odeds]

Thanks, Very good explanation. Could you do also video, how to "Set all functions to factory defaults" to that ESC?

[PaschalDotto-ok]

Waoooh..! Thanks. It works for me. But I have a question that what if I want to control that brushless motor in clockwise rotation and anticlockwise rotation how should I connect and code it.

[meatslab]

Hello, thank you fore the video. I have been trying to figure this out for weeks, and I thought your knowledge on this would be helpful. I have tried every calibration code out there and with many different wire configurations, but my motor is only able to twitch back and forth when yours in the video moved as a normal motor. Do you have any idea on why this is?

[burakk.]

In the same circuit, I will make a 3s2p connection instead of Lipo battery. Should I buy 20A bms or 10A?

[emji]

hello can i ask a question, can you make bldc motor turn in reverse too?

[tomjoad]

Thank you. I would appreciate if you tell us: can we reverse the rotation of the motor?

[mosabalsamman]

Great, Can we make the Joystick control the motor in both directions? ( Motor move forward and backward)

[Adry_Oliva]

With those components in the video can you make the motor rotate in the opposite direction?

[gnanendrasaiprattipatti]

Hi i am making a project on rc car in that i want to use 2 bldc motor for back wheel rotation whare both back wheel are connected to same shaft of 2 bldc motor i have some doughts
1)i am using esp32 to control the motor rotation and i am conncting joistick to enother esp32 that is in serial communication using wifi
Is it possible to control speed and direction ⬇️⬆️ of bldc motor
If direction can not be conducted so can i place 2 bldc motor in such a eay that 1 motor for forword ⬆️ and another for reverse ⬇️ direction

2) by connecting the servo tester to controler esp32 can i control speed on bldc motor from esp32 on bldc car side

I am using 12v 18650 battery pack of 7Ah and 40A bms

3)How much time it min/max approximately can run 2 bldc motor with 12v 7Ah battery

[knagencjusz]

Is your ESC heating so much at 3S voltage batrery?

[Supreme_A_]

Can we rotate it in both directions, clock wise and anti clockwise

[amolaegade]

Can this setup be used to control torque on the motor?

[MrBoi]

hey can i use a potentiometer instead of joystick

[RESC_Eng]

Thank you so much
I used a power supply @12.6 up to 5amp saturation current
the problem that when I send max throttle 2000 it does not respond
the acceptable range is from 1000us till 1100us, , I used the same motor and ESC
some times the current drops down after a few seconds and sometimes does not
do you have an idea,
Thank you so much again .

Having problem of BLDC when using Xboxusb host shield to control it

[muhammadazlan]

Plz make a video on Arduino based drone we are waiting it will be a great help because your videos are very well explained and easy to understand
And you also highlights some important points which are very informative
