1. Podłącz przewody fazowe silnika: Connect the three motor phase wires (A, B, C) from your brushless motor to the corresponding terminals on the ESC.
2. Podłącz akumulator: Connect the positive (B+) and negative (B-) terminals of your battery to the respective power inputs on the ESC. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Connect Communication Ports:
   • CAN-BUS (for multiple ESCs): If using two ESCs for a 2WD setup, connect their CAN serial ports via a CAN-BUS wire.
   • PPM/UART/ADC/NRF: Connect your receiver or control input device (e.g., remote, throttle) to the appropriate port (PPM, UART, ADC, or NRF) on the ESC.
   • USB: For initial configuration and real-time data monitoring, connect the ESC to a computer via a USB cable.
4. Przewody czujnika Halla: Note that this ESC model supports sensorless control only, so there is no Hall serial port for external Hall sensors.

VESC Tool Configuration:

The VESC Tool software is essential for configuring the ESC parameters to match your motor and battery setup. Ensure you have the latest VESC Tool installed.

1. Connect to VESC Tool: Connect the ESC to your computer via USB. Open VESC Tool and click 'AutoConnect'.
2. Motor Setup Wizard: Navigate to 'Setup Motors FOC' wizard. Follow the prompts to:
   • Select the correct motor type (e.g., Medium Outrunner).
   • Input your battery cell series (e.g., 12S) and capacity.
   • Perform 'Run Detection' to automatically detect motor parameters.
   • Check and adjust motor direction (Forward/Reverse) if needed.
3. Input Setup Wizard: Navigate to 'Setup Input' wizard. Follow the prompts to:
   • Select your input type (e.g., 'ADC input, such as conventional ebike throttles' for throttle control).
   • Perform throttle mapping by twisting the throttle to full and pressing the brake to max. Click 'Apply' and then 'Next'.
   • Select the control type, for example, 'Current Reverse ADC2 Brake Button' for combined throttle and brake control.
   • Click 'Write Configuration To Vesc' and then 'Finish'.
4. Sprawdź działanie: After configuration, carefully check the motor running status by gently applying throttle.
