Teensy 3.2, Turbine EDF27 and Turnigy Plush 6A speed controller

[Nexo]

Hello everyone!

I'm building a line following using a Teensy 3.2 (which can be programmed with the Arduino's IDE) and I want to implement the turbine showed below:

Turbine EDF27: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/edf27-with-11000kv-motor-assembled.html
Turnigy Plush: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-plush-6a-8bec-6g-speed-controller.html

Nothing I've found on forums seem to work so I'm here asking you guys.

The code I show below is the one I'm using but is not working. A friend of mine connected a potentiometer and started moving it and the turbine worked but I don't know how to do it merely by code. Any idea will be very appreciated.
Code:

/*

#include <Servo.h>


int value = 0; // set values you need to zero

Servo firstESC, secondESC; //Create as much as Servoobject you want. You can controll 2 or more Servos at the same time

void setup() {

  firstESC.attach(6);    // attached to pin 6 I just do this with 1 Servo
  Serial.begin(9600);    // start serial at 9600 baud

}

void loop() {

//First connect your ESC WITHOUT Arming. Then Open Serial and follow Instructions
 
  firstESC.writeMicroseconds(value);
 
  if(Serial.available())
    value = Serial.parseInt();    // Parse an Integer from Serial

}

NOTE: I don't want it to vary its speed yet, I only want it to work at a set speed.

Thanks in advance!

I've done it! I found a site where there was a code and used it:

(Site: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-run-an-ESC-with-Arduino/)

//This code can be used for any purpose.

#include <Servo.h>

Servo ESC1;
int pos = 0; //Sets position variable

void arm(){
setSpeed(0); //Sets speed variable
delay(1000);
}

void setSpeed(int speed){
int angle = map(speed, 0, 100, 0, 180); //Sets servo positions to different speeds
ESC1.write(angle);
}

void setup() {
ESC1.attach(6); //Adds ESC to certain pin.
arm();
}

void loop() {
int speed; //Implements speed variable

for(speed = 0; speed <= 70; speed += 5) { //Cycles speed up to 70% power for 1 second
setSpeed(speed); //Creates variable for speed to be used in in for loop
delay(1000);
}
delay(4000); //Stays on for 4 seconds

for(speed = 70; speed > 0; speed -= 5) { // Cycles speed down to 0% power for 1 second
setSpeed(speed);
delay(1000);
}
setSpeed(0); //Sets speed variable to zero no matter what
delay(1000); //Turns off for 1 second
}

I hope it helps someone. Have a great day!

Hey!

Can confirm this code works with my particular ESC. Was having problems arming a Turnigy ESC Plush30a for a brushless motor before running this code. I added a longer delay at the start which also may have given my ESC enough time to arm.

void arm(){
setSpeed(0); //Sets speed variable
delay(8000);
}

Thanks to Nexo for the help. If you ever come to Australia I'll shout you a beer

Glad it worked for you!
Looking forward to that beer
