motor - Arduino Speed Controllers for RC Cars


This may be a lame question but, Speed controllers on big RC cars can they be controlled from Arduino? If yes, do they have a standart? do I control them using PWM values? What should i look for if I am going to buy one?



Answer



They should be controlled by pwm, in particular the same pwm that is used for servos. Typically built in pwm units are not accurate enough, instead interrupt driven timer routines are usually the way to go. Should be lots of info on the web for arduino and servos.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
