ESC-Adaptor for ESCs
ESC-Adaptor is a control adaptor for servos and brushless electronic speed controllers (ESCs). A knob and external switch provide smooth speed adjustment, delayed start, hold-to-run operation, forward/reverse control, and fixed output levels.
Applicable firmware: main-v1.19
Compatible devices: servos, brushless ESCs accepting 50 Hz RC PWM signals, and devices using a control pulse width of 1.00–2.00 ms.
Five operating modes
| Mode | Typical use | Operation |
|---|---|---|
| Knob speed control | Continuous speed adjustment | The knob sets the target output; the switch stops and resumes operation |
| Delayed start | Prevent immediate operation at power-on | Output ramps up after the configured delay |
| Switch activation | Hold-to-run equipment | Hold the switch to run; release it to stop |
| Bidirectional mode | Reversible ESCs or actuators | IN1 selects direction in real time; output returns to neutral before reversing |
| Fixed output levels | RC PWM devices requiring four output levels | Cycle through 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% |
Output signal
The adaptor outputs 50 Hz RC PWM:
- Unidirectional mode: 1.00–2.00 ms.
- Bidirectional mode: 1.50 ms is neutral; the two directions extend to 1.00 ms and 2.00 ms.
- Direction changes ramp down to neutral before reversing and ramping up again.
This product does not provide the high-frequency PWM signal used by ordinary four-wire fans. Confirm that your device accepts 50 Hz RC PWM before purchasing or wiring it.
Before use
- Set the knob to 0% before the first test.
- Connect the control board and the controlled device to a common ground.
- This board only provides a control signal. Motors and high-power loads require a separate power supply.
- Disconnect power before changing mode contacts. Changes take effect after power is restored.
