Re: How to limit the maximum current a miniCIM can draw?

Assuming your 333:1 reduction is already built and you're moving the arm around, I wouldn't worry about limiting the current of the motor by any means other than a fuse in the PDB (which you have to do anyway). Choose a fuse that is less than the stall current determined in the method above and you'll be ok.
Thank you!
