We had current monitoring as part of our control program. When the current exceeded a certain limit, the computer would back off the controlers until things were down to an acceptable level. Since the current value was part of the control algorithm, I assume it could be transmitted back through the dashport pretty easily.

It worked great at LA and Nationals, then caused no end of trouble at IRI. We think we finally figured out what is going on this weekend. If we're right some minor program tweaking should make it behave. We think it was just a little too sensitive to voltage drops and have a work-around designed but haven't tried it yet.

I'm suprised gwross hasn't put his $0.02 in yet, as he was much more involved than I was. I'm just a mechanical, I leave the electron pushing to others whenever I can.
