B-G431B-ESC1 potentiometer control

I see in the schematic the potentiometer is referenced on pin 25, however I only see the PWM firmware setup example. Can someone point me to the correct setup?

Dear @RWago.1​ 

I understand your frustration.

In fact, you'll be happy to hear that we are planning to add an example based on B-G431B-ESC1 with a potentiometer control. This will likely be for the next SDK subversion, which will likely happen in the next month or so.

But I can neither guarantee that it will be in the next SDK subversion, nor guarantee that this SDK subversion will happen within the next month (although that is the plan for now).

We're just starting to work on this example, and that's why I asked you if you have made any progress on your side.

Just note that there are still two examples in the SDK with potentiometer control but for other boards. You can take a look at it (as I will).

Best regards

Laurent Ca...

Your the only response in 2 years...A couple weeks after my last request, I moved on to another non-st solution and that has been doing fine. Maybe someday they will update the ESC samples and I'll re-visit trying again on another project. Yeah, I felt abandoned and spent over $500 on ESC's and supporting items thinking it was going to be a slam dunk. Lesson learned, always have Plan B, C, D, etc. ready to go. :)

I just got myself this board. I tried to spin the motor using the potentiometer after enabling the potentiometer feature and disabling ESC. Is this supported now in ST MCSDK 6.3.2?
