Help, I'm struggling to drive a simple ESC and brushless motor combination
with the Beaglebone. I've already spent 1/2 a day figuring out the right
arming sequence (caused by a +- 0.01 ms error in timing).
But once I arm the ESC, the Beaglebone shuts off immediately. Most of the
time, it shuts off right when it starts spinning up. Sometimes it even
shuts off on one of the beeps the motor makes indicating the ESC is arming.
Here's my setup:
Revolver Stubby motor
||

850W PSU =====12V===== ESC ===3.3V=== BeagleBone
The PSU is an Antec 850 high current gamer. I've disabled over-current,
over-voltage, and under-voltage protection on it, so the power draw can be
alot (enough to make the lights flicker when the motor starts).
The BeagleBone is powered by USB and should be buffered against surges
caused by the motor PSU.
What could be the problem?
