This study presents the modification of the BTS7960 motor driver module into a standalone Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) without using any microcontroller or programming. The proposed system implements a hardware-only approach in which a servo tester generates PWM signals, supported by a 7805 regulator, diode protection, and capacitor-based noise suppression. Experimental tests were conducted on a tracked robot platform, evaluating motor speed response, current consumption, and thermal stability under different duty cycles. The results indicate that the system operates stably within the 40–80% PWM range without experiencing motor stall, and the maximum temperature remains below the operational safety threshold. The findings demonstrate that BTS7960 can be successfully implemented as a low-cost ESC alternative for educational robotics, rapid prototyping, and small-scale automation. This approach also reduces circuit complexity by eliminating firmware-based control, offering high reproducibility and accessibility for practical applications.References
