If a motor stalls, it draws a lot of current (compared to normal operation). You can measure that quite easilyusing dedicated chip, or by measuring the voltage over a small resistor in series with the motor: if more current is draw, the voltage drop (...)

Shaft encoders are hard to beat. If the wheels are commanded to turn and aren't, that's a good indication that something is screwy. Plus, if you're doing dead reckoning, you need them anyway so they are already there! Gary Livick (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

If you remove the lens from (I suspect) most pointers, you won't get a beam of light at all, even a conical one. Most laser diodes are essentially "point" sources, the light goes in any direction it can (think flat lightbulb). Moving the lens closer (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
