The Doctor is in.

Joe, you're absolutely right.

What's happened here is that we have a solution in search of a problem. The nifty new circuit board that we're allowed to use is a great hammer, but determining the current load on the battery might not be the best nail for it.

Is measuring current through the custom circuit board possible, legal, and safe? Yes to all three. Is it useful or recommended for those not sure of what they're doing? Probably not.

My team (118) will probably end up with a current measuring circuit board, and I'll keep y'all posted with what we end up doing, and how well it works.

Kris
