Hi Everybody,
Lately I'm trying to control a brushless ESC using arduino pro mini.
I'm using the old Servo library (the one based on PWM) and not the new one since I'm also working with the "softwareSerial" library.
The weird thing is that when I connect a servo-tester to the ESC and set it to zero speed, the ESC recognizes the servo-tester and initialize.
However, when I connect the arduino to the ESC and set the servo-class to zero degrees, the ESC fails to initialize.
It only initialize when I set the servo-class to output 50 degrees PWM.
Does anyone know why?
Unfortunately I don't have an Oscilloscope so I can't check the waves and compare...
