Re: Motor Testing

Awww, come on Kevin. You're ruining the fun.

It's a fun engineering problem.

By getting datapoints in the ranges you can easily measure, you should be able to use best-fit lines to get a reasonable idea of what's going to happen.

Even free speed should be reasonably easy to figure out given you know at least 3 or 4 data points at lower voltages so you can fit a line to it.
