Title: converting cheap chinese car to run with flysky 6 ch remote
Post by: rustydusty on February 17, 2015, 11:26:44 AM
hi all,
i am looking for a solution to be able to run the brushed dc motor with the flysky 6 ch remote tat is designed to control brushless dc motor.
what could be the solution??

The remote is note designed to control only Brush less motors, the purpose of remote is only to send PPM or PWM control signal . The ESC controls the motor according to this signal . For controlling brushed motor, All you have to get Brushed ESC of required current rating .

I've done extensive research on this topic. The only way to get it to control brushed motors is
1) To purchase a high end Tx/Rx that will let you program all the controls in depth
2) Connect any Tx/Rx to an Arduino or other microcontroller and program it
3) Easiest: Use a motor driver meant for this application, such as Sabertooth or SyRen

Good luck.

Cycloned, probably you ran faster in the wrong route. A low end flysky tx can be used to control a brushed motor. As sooraj said, you need a brushed esc.

Some thing like this http://www.sproboticworks.com/products/motor-drivers/turnigy-brushed-20a-speed-controller.html (http://www.sproboticworks.com/products/motor-drivers/turnigy-brushed-20a-speed-controller.html)

if you're looking to control a car, you may consider looking into a brushed esc with reverse capability....

can be done by using Arduino and motor driver shield.its done in this video check it out

@bobbygh why eat around your head? an arduino + motor driver shield will cost arround 1500 INR+ and it need to be programmed etc.
a brushed esc is 500-1000 INR....  and requires minimal programming
