In this small project I will show you how to build a custom ESC/Servo Tester. Along the way I will show you how to setup the timer of the ATmega328P in order to create the required control signal. At the end I will then add tactile switches, a potentiometer and an LCD to adjust the control signal easily. Let's get started!

I just blew out a motor controller on a 3d printer, so I have all of this on my bench right now, what timing!

[@matiasramos2409]

Cool project

[@MCsCreations]

BTW, happy new year! 😊

[@Deepdown.]

Hi GreatScott Can you please make a video on how to build a heartbeat detectors and I will really appreciate if you also include in the video how to make an ECG(electrocardiogram) using some low pass filter and operational amplifier. please help me. Thanks.

[@DSLRDIY]

Nice video!!! , I was wondering and looking for a hot swap battery pack, I want to use two 2S 18650 7.2v battery packs and be able to switch them if one is out of juice so I can have a continuous output, something more nice than using 2 diodes. Any ideas?

[@mariomichalik9015]

Bms diy or buy and how it works 🤔

[@filipsebik6138]

This is the greatest project idea I've ever seen

[@linuspauly2380]

Well all you need is his charge and security circuit with another ic for higher voltages and transistors activated by comparators so that cells get discharged if over 4.2v thats it

[@junuhunuproductions]

Definitely!! @greatscott

[@PropaneTreeFiddy]

I work with batteries quite often, and it depends on how complex your battery pack is, as well as the chemistry of the batteries. For standard 3.7 volt lithium ion cells (like common 18650s) in simple configuration (single, 3-series, etc.) there are many cheap options available that will do the trick. However, I ended up designing my own for some of my bigger projects involving complex custom series-parallel packs or less-common chemistry like LiFe.

[@junuhunuproductions]

@@PropaneTreeFiddy Oh my, I always wanted to make a custom bms. Can you share how you designed your own?? I need a bms for my 6S8P 600Wh li-ion battery pack before it blows up :)

[@KrisX7331]

So many motor and ESC related content lately. The quadcopter is coming!!!

[@rahultej2248]

Кристиян Митев 2022 he said.

[@flutters.mp4]

GREAT SCOTT

[@rizkyp]

Lipo or ESC powered on thing I know is that it need to have a common ground or the signal can be floating which means the negatives need to be connected and shared.

[@dannyagunbia206]

Almost got a million subscribers

[@gamingtechtamil69]

Can you build a pure sine wave inverter using 4017 ic and ne555ic?

[@Epic-Electronics]

Your videos are always very exciting!!🤘🏻 I have a question about the general purpose dot pcb boards, where do you buy this boards? Thanks in advance for an answer.

[@MedSou]

*That's nice* 👍👍👍👍👍

[@VKRenato]

Excellent, video. Next, closed loop bldc servo.

[@glewiss6696]

Hi Scott, Nice video again! I was wondering which microcontroller you end up using and enjoying the most since you have used several ones already such as atmega328, esp32, stm32, ... Thanks a lot!

[@avejst]

Thanks for sharing😀👍

[@michal_c9007]

Nice now add to it rpm meter and power meter to define efficiency BTW in arduino is scatch named servo knob it can create pwm just like yours code but is not that precise

[@davidfox9048]

I dont understand but i enjoy your video

[@shreeyatyagi]

Can you make a video on how to optimally read from several sensors from multiple arduino together? Thanks.

[@kvlpnd]

I can watch an entire video of you doing soldering just for fun.

[@mazl1322]

can you make an DYI o BUY video where you make an digital ignition system for example for your simson moped

[@ZeniethLily]

Great project, I assume it will be possible to adapt it to switch to a narrow pulse mode (760us)?

[@bagassetiawan1478]

excellent, in 10 minutes there are more than 1,000 viewers

[@lunarz7117]

Wouldn't the 'knob' sketch in example sketch also do the same thing (with little modifications of course)?

[@lex4play394]

Hey! I'd appreciate help very much. I build my diy boombox, but without battery and everytime i unplug it the car radio forgets its settings

[@argentinomacrifuevidaltamb3772]

Excelente capo. Gracias

[@sciencetech9922]

Soon your channel get 1m. Subscribers....

[@GreatNerve]

Nice!

[@tctrainconstruct2592]

I would use a rotary encoder for the duty cycle adjustment

[@dumbdeniz]

i love how you say "JLCPCB" make a video about yourself saying JLCPCB for 1 hour

[@peerappel2012]

MrScott6000

[@wouter11234]

Would be great marketing for sure

[@hyperhektor7733]

10hr version is more trendy now

[@pinkysharma8884]

Hey Scott I have a great project idea for you basics of LCD and driving them with arduino ,wait a while not the ones with cog or otger controller but bare LCD which is quite difficult to control using a microcontroller

[@davidianmusic4869]

Are you taking suggestions? Long ago I built a metal detector with just a magnet, coil, and multimeter. I could use a nail detector, but have no time or workshop to test. Any simple ideas on using an Arduino and pw/frequency modulation? And thank you for the inspiring projects. I’ve built a few of my own designs after seeing what you have done.

[@chrissgamer48]

On the lipo protection video ypu showed that your going to make a new gameboy thingy when is it going to come?

[@waheedhafathmath9298]

Is there a way to off the charger when the device reaches the max charge.

[@tchellosilveira]

Hello GreatScott! Is it possible to use a brushless motor as a stepper motor ? I was thinking about this when seeing the camera stabilizers that use ATMega and brushless motors, the stabilizing gimbal.

[@waheedhafathmath9298]

I have a broken cd drive and when I force the cd drawer in side the led lit even if it was not connected to any thing so I took the motor and tried to get power out of it however it didn't work. Can you tell me why this is happening

[@machine2747]

You should use JLCPCB and make boards for this project to sell. I would certainly buy one to help support the channel. Thanks!

[@mindaugasvaskevicius1818]

Setting the timer register bit values but to set a pin to output not using DDR? Besides 4 push buttons pot and a LCD, a little bit of an overkill, don't you think?

[@simracingprototype]

try to make a projectile speed tester( a.k.a. shooting chronograph). Great videos.

[@tesseract342]

awesome!

[@NienteNessuno]

Can you make a review of the DPS5020? Thanks!

[@darkstar2111]

Hi Scott, thank you for video. Please work on your code formatting. It looks like braces are in random places. I know that Arduino IDE is far from perfect, but it helps a lot in larger projects. Kind regards!

[@MetalZaraki93]

Got a question out of contest. Will you ever make an USB/TOSLINK(?) DAC? I saw the basics video and was really curious to see maybe a proper one functioning on pc or tv. I didn't find anyone doing it.

[@rsphie80]

great vid as always, thanks scott!

[@miedu74]

It would be nice to add a power meter to this circuit, so you can see how much power the ESC is taking, and even the amount going to the motor...

[@manuelplascencia3223]

hello i have a question about if i am using an arduino uno what pins do i connect SDA and SCL? thank you so much

[@surfacta]

Hey man, i liked ur videos! Can u make a basic video about digital logic gates? And how to make them using diodes and transistors

[@samirguesmi4763]

i'm working on this now, and when i will finish it i will share it with you. my respekt für you all.

[@MrBlockyTV]

So you explored bldcs extensively now - how about an esc/inverter project for 3 phase induction motors? Ps: guten Rutsch!

[@murugasenram7749]

Is that possible to create speedometer for cycle or wind mill speed in audrino nano that should be portable and is that possibe to create a skatebboard that powered by bldc and mamual transmission 6 speed with n

[@commander_red]

Do you think that you can use the Arduino Uno Analog I / O pins to make an oscilloscope or something like that?

[@thereynolds2725]

You can do it. I did. But it is almost worthless. It is a very, very poor oscilloscope.

[@bhosaleprathamesh4557]

Pls do something or tell about linear power supply and smps power supply (switch mode power supply) pls tell difference and their efficiency.

[@EasyOne]

nice

[@lsudan2670]

How could i make a arduino keypad lock for circuits? With a lcd to show that it is locked/unlocked

[@624andrewwafik3]

Can you make the shake torch again but with more details

[@leipeharrie5]

Can you make a video about DIY zigbee devices, like how to create one as cheap as possible?

[@kaliumdichromatnatriumhexa6010]

This is a great viedeo. Like the others. Can you make a viedeo to your tesla coil inverter, please? I want to build it myself, but i dont understood it.

[@kaliumdichromatnatriumhexa6010]

PS Sorry for this grammar.

[@Veso266]

can you tell me why I cannot dim LED bulb properly it just flickers and does not want to dim? is there a way to modify it to be dimable?

[@salmanakbarkhan7866]

Can you tell me? How to select the correct farad value of capacitor.

[@MicheleHjorleifsson]

is there a way to reverse the rotation direction of the bldc ?

[@jcchouinard3792]

Good Vidéo :)

[@JVMP]

Can an Arduino Nano be used as well? I am not familiar with the board you used, so I dont know if the code can be used on Nano as well.
