Hello,
i ask myself if i can use this board directly as an 2 channel ESC for connecting it directly too the outlets of an ordinary RC reveicer.
Or in other words: Which DC Motor driver board can be used two do so ?
Thank you in advance
Marc

Hi Marc.
The TB6612FNG will not work connected directly to a RC remote control receiver. You would need to connect it to a microcontroller like a PIC or an Arduino and the microcontroller would need to be running a little bit of software that sends the appropriate commands to the TB6612FNG for it to work.
If you’re looking for something that can be directly connected to a RC receiver and control a DC motor, our [tinyESC v2 is what you’re looking for. :-)](tinyESC v2 - Brushed Speed Controller - ROB-13204 - SparkFun Electronics)
Thanks in advance

What are typical PWM frequencies to control speed of DC Motors ?](tinyESC v2 - Brushed Speed Controller - ROB-13204 - SparkFun Electronics)
The tiny ESC may be usefull for a single DC motors but this solution is not very cost effective in case of 7 Motors
I’m afraid I really don’t know what’s typical.
You’d need to ask multiple manufacturers what they use and figure out where the most overlap is.
