8 | Control a brushless motor with a Teensy

This video explains how you can program your Teensy 4.0 microcontroller to control a brushless motor. The FS-IA6B receiver is used to give instructions to the Teensy, which will be in turn transformed to a PWM signal that is fed to the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC).
The purpose of this video series is to learn the basics behind a quadcopter drone and enable you to build one yourself, by dividing this challenging project in several easy-to-understand parts. You use the capable Teensy 4.0 microcontroller together with the easy-to-use Arduino language.

Great series and very well explained. Thanks for taking the time to produce these video,

[@girayyillikci3188]

so clean so neat

[@argentinomacrifuevidaltamb3772]

Magnifico trabajo. Gracciasss

[@Tom-wd2ee]

Hi, first thanks for this awesome project.
Now a questiion. If the standard PWM signal of ESCs is 1-2ms, shouldn't the period be 2ms = 500Hz? I don't get why you are chosing 250Hz. Thanks in advance.

[@serviceelectricitebatiment9708]

The engine does not start, what is the reason?

[@AlSTORIES777]

What esc are you used sir?

[@nawakman]

I fried my teensy doing the same wiring, do you know why it could have happened? Is It ok to plug the Rx signal(5v) directly into the teensy 3.3v pins ?

[@natewinslow557]

No. The teensy pins are not 5v tolerant.

Hi um i have a request the code that i çopied from your link on github 19th line analogWriteFrequency dont work on mine it says analogWriteFrequency was not declared in this scope how do i fix that im new to this so i dont know what to do ive been searching for possible problems on why it dosent work but i couldn't find anything

[@hung4505]

i am also getting the same error

[@Agrivate]

@@hung4505 right? Like how do i fix it

[@caunt.official]

Thats ESC are so expensive for such simple tasks. I use simple MOSFET transistor and DAC to regulate speeds

[@AleifrLeifrson]

For those who are building a drone for educational purposes, experience with ESCs is very useful.
