Lightbulb Re: pic: burnt up TETRIX motor, excellent post

Thanks for the G2 on this motor and the implication that we must have a limit switch.
Hopefully someone, perhaps you yourself, will put this up in the Q&A so we can get a clarification.
Have you seen the resister stripes of a new one ?
Like what is the resistor rated at ?
Maybe we could use a small cricuit braker in series (they go down to 3 Amps, although hard to source in that rated size)
