Not working with Bluejay ESC

[fcladera]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for implementing this! I am trying to test the code with a bluejay ESC. I am able to make the ESC work using betaflight, but when I try with this implementation I cannot make it work. Do you have any hints?

Thank you again!

There is chances that the "clock" on arduino and the ESC is not "match" (both have chances to be inaccurate, normally about +-1%), and since arduino clock is relatively slow (only 8M) the slight inaccuracy renders the output not acceptable by the ESC.

Two things you can try:

1. try different arduino on the said ESC or/
2. use a slower DShot protocol (DShot 150), the higher frequency the more likely the accuracy will be an issue

Of course if you have access to a good oscilloscope you can check the wave output from arduino
