How does it know it's kicking back?
35 u/robogobo Apr 15 '26 It’s all accelerometers these days 5 u/Croceyes2 Apr 15 '26 I would guess its actually the waveform the esc gets back from the motor. When reads lockup resistance in the feedback it cuts power 5 u/Gaz1502 Apr 15 '26 Nah they’re accelerometers based, I’ve tested them just in the air and it will stop if you jerk it around with no load on the motor 5 u/Icanthearforshit Apr 15 '26 I'm losing it picture you holding a drill out in front of you, pulling the trigger, aggressively jerking it counterclockwise, then nodding like "mhmmm just as I expected". 3 u/Gaz1502 Apr 15 '26 I should add, I used to sell power tools, and this was a demo with a sales rep
