Re: Suicide Cables Safe for Motors?

Our team has been controlling motors for prototyping with suicide cables for awhile now - I haven't noticed many motors die when they are not stalled - that is where the problem could occur, and you could release magic smoke. But a regulator like you are describing could be useful for speed control - a la thrifty throttle plus pwm motor controller. This can help when prototyping a shooter, where speeds may be very specific.
