You need to take the battery power to a 12v regulator, and connect the 3s ESC to the 12v output from the regulator. I think you're right about using a UART, but I've never done it. ESCs use the same signal as a servo, and there are probably lots of guides for connecting a servo to a flight controller. | |

Is a BEC the same the voltage regulator? Additionally, do you know if I should wire the brushed ESC's receiever wires to any of the 4 UART ports on the FC? | |
