title_body: Wiring a 4-in-1 ESC to an Arduino Uno I have four brushless motors that I want to control using an Arduino Nano. I was looking at getting a 4-in-1 ESC controller similar to this one on amazon.
  At this point in my project, I'm more interested in toying around with components and understanding how to control them using an Arduino rather than having a fully functional drone. I was wondering if anyone had a good resource on how to communicate with and control ESCs using an Arduino. Is this something that can easily be done?
  
  It seems pretty straightforward how to solder the actual brushless motors to the ESC, however I was mainly wondering how this 8-wire connector can be used to control them from an Arduino. If I directly connect the M1/M2/M3/M4 wires to pins on my Arduino, are there libraries which can be used to control the motors?
upvoted_answer: If you must use dshot then try this library https://github.com/gueei/DShot-Arduino
  However, for just playing around, it would be much easier to use PWM protocol and the servo library for Arduino.  Most ESC's are backwards compatible so I recommend trying using PWM first and if you must, use DSHOT.
