Hello All,
I recently purchased the T500 Thruster and Basic ESC 500, I need to connect the ESC to a 6 pin bulkhead connector as my autonomous system (Not from BlueRobotics) has 6 pin bulkhead connectors.
I am new to building autonomous systems, So I wasn’t sure how to connect both together. I was unsure if there is any converter that I can directly attach or do I have to use an additional microcontroller like an Arduino or something.
Any help would be highly appreciated
Hi @rsd23
Welcome to the forums
Can you share what connection you’re trying to make thru those bulkhead adapters? If you have the ESC and control source inside an enclosure, you could run the 3 wires that carry the power to the motor through the bulkhead - running two motors thru the 6 total pins may be possible, but could lead to interference - best to test! You’ll also want to make sure the current capacity of each pin connection is high enough for the motor, so the connector doesn’t overheat!
I’m not sure you need any type of converter - the ESC needs power and a servo-style PWM signal, and outputs 3 phase power to the motor…
