What is an Electronic Speed Controller?
An electronic speed controller (ESC) is a device that manages the speed, direction, and power of a drone or UAV’s electric motor. It is a crucial intermediary between the power source, such as a battery, and the motor, converting electrical signals from the flight controller or onboard computer into precise motor movements.
ESCs are widely used in unmanned systems, such as drones, robotics, and other autonomous vehicles, where accurate motor control is necessary for stability and performance. Modern ESCs are designed to handle high power levels, offering advanced features like regenerative braking, thermal protection, and adaptive timing.
