Arduino function for the ESC

Blue Robotics Products Speed Controllers (ESCs)

I am just getting started with shifting from PBasic (Basic Stamp) to Arduino C (Arduino uno)for my rover project. In PBasic I just send out a PULSOUT(msec) command. What do you normally use with Arduino C? I can certainly just write a HIGH-PAUSE(msec)- LOW function or is something else a better choice?

I would appreciate any improvements to my first very basic thruster control program using Arduino:

Richard,

I would recommend using the Servo library and the writeMicroseconds(msec) function. Check out our example Arduino code: Basic ESC Documentation (Old)

Best,

Rusty
