This site is for answering questions. It is not a good format for presenting impromptu tutorials. You should dig into tutorial sites that have been carefully thought out and illustrated. Then ask questions here to clarify points that you don't understand. | |
| Jun 7, 2016 at 13:38 | comment | added | 6119 | I am not.....I was reading through 'projects with arduino'. And I got to quadcopter, which peaked my interest, and so I was looking at the parts needed to build one. More googling brought me to topic 'Building quacopter with scrap', where it used CPU fans for motor and a Cross beam from for frame. Which raised my question about ESC and PWM, since it didn't use and ESC.........and I got a downvote cause I asked to many questions for clarification... | |
| Jun 7, 2016 at 13:33 | comment | added | Dmitry Grigoryev | Are you building a copter using CPU fans? | |
| Jun 7, 2016 at 13:32 | comment | added | user80875 | A CPU fan has an ESC circuit built into the housing. | |
| Jun 7, 2016 at 13:30 | comment | added | 6119 | I am suggesting that CPU fan has 3 pins (power,ground,control).......so using arduino I could control the speed of the fan on the quadcopter. Would it work? | |

| Jun 7, 2016 at 13:16 | comment | added | Dampmaskin | You will need to control the speed of the motors one way or another. Are you suggesting building a quadcopter with mechanical speed control? I suppose it would be possible, but not very practical. | |
| Jun 7, 2016 at 13:10 | comment | added | 6119 | If PWM is a technique, and ESCs is a device using that technique. Will it be possible to build a Quadcopter with a motor having PWM and without ESCs? Like CPU fan has PWM | |
