New, haven't done anything yet
Currently, I have only disassembled the truck.
This is what it was:
- In order to talk with the ESC, you need to first set it to full throttle and then set it to min throttle for the ESC to work ref
import pigpio # not sure how good this is over RPI.GPIO??
pi = pigpio.pi()
ESC_GPIO = 13 # ESC pwm set to RPi pin 13
pi.set_servo_pulsewidth(ESC_GPIO, 2000) # Maximum throttle.
sleep(2)
pi.set_servo_pulsewidth(ESC_GPIO, 1000) # Minimum throttle.
sleep(2)Note: The software, hardware, and documentation are under different licenses.
