Re: Measuring motor current (anyone tried this?)

In 2010/2011 we used the CAN interface with jaguars to get a simple current draw measurement. We actually tied the current measurement to a simple cut off for our ball handler.

Perhaps it may not be exactly what you want but it should be a zero cost, quick test approach
