First post! I just bought a used Phantom 1 and gutted the insides. I want to use the Phantom 1 ESCs and motors to build an underwater drone.
So the ESC has three phase wires for the motors, two wires for 11V and ground, and lastly, two wires (yellow and brown), which I assume is a signal cable and ground for the ESC.
I tried connecting the ground and the signal cable to an Arduino, and sending PWM signals to the ESC from the Arduino. It makes some noise, but the motor does not spin.
Any ideas?
