Controlling a Brushless motor using Cyberbrick

I want to know if it’s possible to control a brushless motor (for RC projects) using the Cyberbricks system.

I believe it’s theoretically possible because if the Cyberbrick can control servo motors, then it should be able to control a brushless motor because it’s code is similar to servos(in the Arduino IDE perspective).

I just wanna know if anyone has actually tried it out since I haven’t seen any documentation or videos of someone making a RC vehicle using a brushless motor. If anyone has any advice for actually attempting it, let me know!

And control the speed or just spin it?

Control the speed too, but I guess I could start from somewhere :man_shrugging:

You can use arbitrary PWM input signal capable brushless ESC with CyberBrick. CyberBrick can output (with std. official MicroPython code) from 0.5ms to 2.5ms pulse length width servo signal.

In other words, just control the motor like I would control a servo?
