Description
An electronic speed controller (ESC) is necessary to run any three-phase brushless motor like BlueRobotics’ thrusters. This 30 amp ESC is sufficient for the T100 and T200 thrusters. The BasicESC no longer includes a 5V BEC.
Key Features
- Simple, robust brushless electronic speed controller
- High speed update rate up to 1,000 Hz.
- Forward/reverse rotation direction for forward/reverse thrust
- Open-source, reprogrammable firmware to allow custom changes
Resources
The firmware for this ESC is open-source and available on the BlueRobotics Github page.
