 * https://github.com/bluerobotics/blueesc/ ,https://www.bluerobotics.com/store/electronics/besc-30-r1/ The BlueESC is a simple, open-source electronic speed controller for three-phase brushless motors. It is designed to run the SimonK firmware on an Atmega8 microcontroller. Derived from https://github.com/sim-/tgy,  https://code.google.com/p/wii-esc/

Motor control
https://github.com/ytai/ioio/wiki/Motor-control The Motor Control API, which was added to the IOIO library in version 5.00 makes it easy to control a large variety of such setups with very high accuracy and speed. What it does essentially is generate digital waveforms of various kinds, which correspond to different kinds of actuators.

ESC settings

filter
Remove the low pass filter on the ESC, allowing higher P(proportional) control values, which stabilizes the quad in wind gusts.
