Looking for thruster

[EliotBR (Eliot)]

@Chrisar

What is the input voltage to put thrusters in neutral? Would that be 2.5-volts? That would mean changing the input voltage above or below 2.5 volts would change the thrust direction; is this correct?

Assuming you’re not using the “Steering” input option then yes, 2.5V is the neutral/stopped point, and going above or below that determines the thrust direction.

@Chrisar

I also looked at the ECS from Blue Robotics. The thruster direction and speed are controled by a signal between 1100 uS to 1900 uS. I’m assuming these are PWM pulsewidths; is this correct?.

Yes, our Basic ESC interprets its input signal in terms of PWM pulse-durations

@Chrisar

What is the PWM frequency typically used?

@EliotBR

… we generally use a 200Hz update rate, and don’t recommend below 50Hz …

Per the technical details on the product page, the maximum update rate is 400Hz.
