My New T-500 powered kayak!

Welcome back @Superuser007 :slight_smile:

I’m not familiar with this motor, but from some brief searching online it’s not obvious to me what kind of control signal it accepts. If it is a three-wire brushless DC motor (like our motors and thrusters) then our Basic ESC can likely be used with it, with a Thruster Commander to send speed commands to the ESC.

Our Basic ESC can rotate our thrusters and motors, but it requires a servo-style PWM signal to specify the ‘throttle’ amount. You can provide such a signal using any of:

  • a Thruster Commander,
  • a flight controller board (e.g. Navigator) running an autopilot firmware,
  • a custom microcontroller board (e.g. an Arduino), or
  • a GPIO-compatible computer (e.g. Raspberry Pi )

EDIT: I’ve just seen your more recent post, and Tony’s note about the battery voltage is also relevant.
