Re: CT for current readings

When WildStang first tries this we simply used 1 ft. of #10 wire that was already feeding the speed controllers. That is a pretty good .001 ohm resistor and the power loss is part of the delivery so you aren't adding additional loss.

Please remember that pressure transducers are illegal under FRC rules as answered by the Q&A earlier this season.
