It cleared up everything and it’s the first time I actually understand the coil wiring well enough to say I would be ready to rewire a motor myself. Thank you so much. Liked, subbed and commented! Keep on going!

Thanks for posting this! I'm going to build an Outlaw Pinewood Derby car for our pack's race this month and I'm using a 50mm brushless ducted fan. This tutorial got me up and running so I know my gear is good, I still need to figure out how to incorporate a switch on the nose of the car so it knows when to switch from idle to wide open when the start gate drops but this gets me started! Thanks again!

This is a fantastic explanation, and it lends itself to the point that a brushless DC motor effectively replicates a 3-phase ac motor except with a permanent magnet rotor. Complete with three 2-pole coils that are activated out of phase with one another. Great stuff!

Perhaps the driver has a resistor limiting the current to a value which is less than the current required to run your motor at max speed

Around 8:30, the BEC actually means that when the battery voltage drops too low, the ESC cuts power to the motor to 1) avoid damage to the battery and 2) keep the rest of the controls working (receiver and servos), that feature was introduced to avoid RC plane loss of control and resulting crashes when the battery was too low.

hands down the best video (or even lecture) about BLDC motors. One (possible) problem: arent the directions of the magnetic field wrong at 0:35 in the coil? If that image were right then there would be bi directional magnetic field inside the coil. If the N -S are right, then the open field lines are right, while the closed loop field lines are wrong.

In the motor you used, and most quadcopter motors, the magnets are outside the stator, not inside it as your diagram shows. The reason for this, when the magnets are arranged as a Halbach array, is that you get twice the magnetism applied to the stator in the center.

Good bit of explanation on how brushless motors work... but it's not so much "how to control a brushless motor with an arduino" as it is just how to use the ESC 30A motor controller using PWM as the input signal. From the title, I had expected there'd be a bit about HOW to measure the back EMF, how to keep track of things like electronic commutation, speed, position... but it seems the ESC 30A does that automatically
