Re: Measuring motor current (anyone tried this?)

If you have CAN set up, you can ask for the currents in each motor over the bus.

You'll probably need a 4 wire multimeter to get any appreciable voltage. Its on the order of a dozen milliohms.

I'd pull the breakers individually and measure resistances. They'll change a bit under load, but such is life.
