Re: FisherPrice Problems
Bruce,
The 336, as with most clamp on ammeters and VOMs are only good to 400 HZ. The output of the speed controller is a 2 kHz rep rate so the pulses are even shorter than that. That allows for a lot of error to build up at less than full throttle. I am guessing that you might be reading 50-60% of what is actually taking place. It is a good tool to check between motors and will give accurate results when the controller is producing full throttle. It is a tool many teams don't have in their tool box but should.
