In this version of the quadcopter, I will use the brushless motor Roxxy Outrunner 2827-34. The recommended speed controller by the manufacturer of the motor is the BL-Control 808 or 818. I choose the BL-Control 818. The only differences are in load current (8A/18A), peak (12A/22A) and weight (12g/13g).
Now I need find a way to connect the electronic speed control (ESC) to the arduino board using the PWM connections, and with the right code would I be able properly manipulate the ESC through the arduino. I hope. But, what is the PWM and PPM and where is it used? I found this site that explains in a simple manner, the means and the techniques associated with each word.
After some research I found a forum with some information on how to control the a brushless motor from the arduino board. Also check this post from the Farshid's Weblog and the page about the software Servo library from the Arduino Playground.
