G+_Eddie Foy Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is it safe to use a ESC just as a BEC? Should I tie the PWM sig line low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Heinz Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I'd worry about the lack of a load on the ESC. Tying the inputs low is a good idea, but you might want to try and find the spec sheet for the ESC, or see if you can hack the firmware to disable the output.

G+_Jason Marsh Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 If the load legs will be open I wouldn't worry about it. I imagine the regulator for BEC function is separate from the regulator for motor load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
