Re: Measuring motor current (anyone tried this?)
Take a look at this product.
http://www.batteryspace.com/compactd...upto50amp.aspx We used this to tune our minibot motors and it worked out great. Reading the specs I think the analyzer is within your test range. We used this with a variable DC power supply. Here are some uses: Set speed control cutoff voltages and currents Tune performance by comparing different setups of propeller, motor, gearing, speed control and battery Measure a full battery charge and compare to spec when charger claims done Check peak currents are safe for battery, speed control, motor, wiring and connectors Predict airplane flight time based on ACTUAL conditions in your model Check battery capacity and health and whether battery should be retired Verify that the minimum voltage under load is within specifications Check for wiring and connector power losses.
