Detailed Description

template<typename T = float>
class tinyrobotics::BrushlessMotor< T >

Simple brushless DC motor (ESC) driver using Servo library for Arduino/ESP32.

This class provides an interface to control brushless DC motors (with ESCs) using the Servo or ESP32Servo library. It allows attaching to a pin, setting speed as a percentage, and detaching the servo.

Main methods:

• setPin(pin): Defines the pin to which the ESC control signal is connected.
• begin(): Initialize and attach the servo to the configured pin.
• setSpeed(percent): Set the motor speed as a percentage (0 to 100).
• end(): Stop the motor and detach the servo.

Usage notes:

• Call setPin() before begin().
• Use setSpeed() to control the motor speed. Use end() to stop and detach.
• The class maps speed percentage to servo pulse width (1000-2000us typical for ESCs).

Example usage:

BrushlessMotor motor;
motor.setPin(9);
motor.begin();
motor.setSpeed(50); // 50% throttle
motor.end();
