motor test question...
« on: June 23, 2010, 12:31:25 PM »
ok, here's my question.
I know that the electric motors we use run by sending pulsed in sequence to it make it work.
Is there a simple set up that anybody has seen to be able to  test motors ?
Short of buying a transmitter and reciever so i can cycle the motor on and see how it runs through it's power range ?
I though Will hubin haad something but in his newest list i did not see one.
I'm just looking to bench test some motor and battery combo's and get the rpm and make sure they will turn the rpm I need at prop i need first.
Any suggestions ?

You can use any "servo tester". It will make you necessary signal in range used by every ESC.

I'll go looking for more sources, but ...

and

the GWS servo meter/tester is inexpensive and has the necessary display, but I've never played with one myself.

take care,
