Documentation of my BrushlessServo Arduino library This library offers the possibility to use a Brushless 3-wire motor as a servomotor. It’s very convenient for making fast precision movements in many applications such as Gimbals. No need to buy or hack an existing ESC (Electronic Speed Control). Please note that this library operates with sensor-less brushless motors. So the motor may skip steps! Warning: When you prototype electronic circuits with high current and Brushless motors, things can go wrong and blue magic smoke can appear!...
