FingerTech tinyESC v2 Motor control with reverse polarity protection ultra compact and lightweight with status LED display
These are the smallest and lightest motor controllers currently manufactured for RC hobby robotics. They take up very little space but can handle more than enough motor current for your robots.
Version 2.4 now includes backwards-polarity protection - plugging a battery in backwards will not destroy a tinyESC! There is also now protection on the 5V receiver line so that other BECs will not affect the tinyESC - no need to disconnect the red wire anymore!
Features:
Bi-directional brushed motor controller.
Ultra-compact and lightweight.
Undervoltage, overcurrent, overtemp reverse-polarity, and BEC protection.
Internal BEC (battery eliminator circuit) provides 5V to receiver - no extra receiver battery required!
Calibrate function allows precision driving.
Status LEDs for both directions and calibration.
*The tinyESC includes a Battery Eliminator Circuit. If there is no 5V supply present on the robot, this will power the radio receiver from the main battery. (There is a blocking diode in v2.4, so multiple tinyESC BECs can be run at once, along with one non-tinyESC BEC. It is still not recommend to run multiple unprotected BECs together.)
*If you are controlling the tinyESC from a powered device (like Arduino, etc), there is now (v2.4) no worry about damaging the tinyESC from higher voltages.
Specifications:
Battery Voltage: 6.5V - 36V
Motor Current: 1.5A continuous (forever). For robots, usable continuous current is 2.0A.
Max Current: 3A. For robots though, 5A-stall motors are easily handled by tinyESCs (see Videos tab).
BEC Output: 5V, 100mA (can run other electronics like receivers and other ESCs, but not motors or servos.)
BEC current is reduced for voltage above 8V - see graph: BEC Derating Graph.
Dimensions:
Circuit board size: 1.27x1.27x0.41cm (0.5x0.5x0.16”)
Outer heatshrink size: 1.35x1.85x0.48cm (0.53x0.73x0.19”) - calibration pins have been changed from male to female (v2.4) to reduce length and fragility
Weight with wires: 4.5grams (0.16oz)
*Includes 0.01uF capacitor. Solder between motor leads to filter motor noise and voltage spikes. (Not required for FingerTech Spark motors - they are high quality and do not generate dangerous voltage spikes.)
Currently there are two known ways to destroy a tinyESC. (So avoid them!)
1) Applying battery voltage to the motor outputs.
2) Voltage spikes from noisy motors (not using the included capacitor).
