Re: How to limit the maximum current a miniCIM can draw?

Could you monitor the current from the PD board and cut back the command if the current is high? We did something similar to that last year using current feed back from the Talon SRX. Years before current feedback we limited the command to a value that limited the current to an acceptable level. We had a turbo button to enable full power & it was on the driver not to smoke the motor with the turbo button.
