Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit is designed to control two T200 Thrusters using signals from an RC Receiver Module. The thrusters are powered by individual Lipo Batteries and are managed by Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs). The ESCs receive control signals from the RC Receiver Module to regulate the speed and direction of the thrusters. The ESCs also provide power to the RC Receiver Module. There is no microcontroller code provided, indicating that the RC Receiver Module directly controls the ESCs without the need for additional processing.
