MotorPropTester

Code to test the power and efficiency of a brushless motor and propeller using a specialized test rig

An arduino, controlling the motor, steps up the power in certain intervals and records the following data to an SD card:

  • total time in milliseconds since the rig was powered on
  • value the arduino sends to the ESC
  • return value from the load sensor
  • supplied voltage
  • supplied current
  • total revolutions since the motor was activated
  • current RPM
  • current Motor Temperature
  • current ESC Temperature
  • Whether or not the system is active or finished/killed
