This Instructable will guide you through the process of controlling a BLDC motor with a potentiometer through an Arduino ProMini.

Supplies

1) Arduino ProMini: Arduino

2) Potentiometer: Potentiometer

3) BLDC motor: Motor

4) ESC: ESC

5) LiPo battery: Battery

6) LiPo battery charger: LiPo Charger

7) LiPo battery voltage indicator: Voltage indicator

8) Breadboard: Breadboard

9) Male jumper wires: Jumpers

10) FT232RL: FT232RL

Step 1: CONNECTIONS

* POTENTIOMETER*

GND -> GND

SIGNAL -> A0

VCC -> VCC

* ESC *

GND -> GND

SIGNAL -> D9

VCC -> VCC

POWER -> POWER SUPPLY

* BLDC MOTOR *

CONNECT THE LEADS TO THE ESC'S OUTPUT AND SWAP ANY TWO LEADS TO REVERSE THE DIRECTION OF THE ROTATION, IF NEEDED.

Step 2: PROGRAMMING

1) Download the code.

2) Verify and upload it.
