Description: The 3CH Channels ESC Servo Tester is a versatile electronic device designed to test and control Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) and servo motors in robotics, drone, RC car, and other electronics projects. It can test up to three ESCs or servos simultaneously, making it ideal for applications requiring multi-motor setups. The device is commonly used in RC (Radio Control) systems, robotics, and automation projects to ensure proper functioning and calibration of ESCs and servos before installation or during system testing.
The ESC Servo Tester is simple to use, offering adjustable controls for testing different signal ranges, and is compatible with a wide range of ESCs and servos that operate on PWM signals. It is powered via 5V DC and features easy-to-understand controls to simulate throttle or steering input.

RC Drones & Cars: Ideal for testing and calibrating ESCs and servos used in remote control drones or RC cars.
Robotics: Useful for testing multi-motor setups in robotics projects, such as servo-driven arms, legs, or wheeled robots.
Prototyping: In DIY electronics projects involving servos or ESCs, it helps to test functionality before integrating components into the final system.
Automation Systems: Helps test servo-driven systems for automated machinery or actuators.
Model Aircraft & Boats: Can be used for model aircraft, boats, and other vehicles requiring multiple ESC and servo testing.
Educational Projects: A great tool for students and hobbyists learning about PWM signals, ESCs, and servos.
Usage Tips:
Powering the Tester: Use a 5V DC supply (USB or external power) to power the tester. Ensure that your ESCs or servos also operate at 5V or match the input voltage range.
Testing ESCs: For testing ESCs, ensure that the motors are connected correctly to the ESCs, and adjust the throttle using the dial knob to test motor speed response.
Testing Servos: To test servo motors, connect the servos to the output channels. Adjust the dial knob to simulate different positions, checking the servo's response and movement.
Automatic Mode: Use the automatic mode for generating pre-programmed throttle/steering sequences. This is helpful when calibrating servos or testing ESC behavior under different inputs.
Monitoring the LED Indicators: Pay attention to the LED indicators that show the status of the ESCs or servos, ensuring they are responding to the input signals.
The 3CH Channels ESC Servo Tester is an essential tool for anyone working with RC systems, robotics, or automation, allowing quick and accurate testing and calibration of multiple ESCs or servos in parallel. It simplifies troubleshooting and ensures that components are operating correctly before final integration.
