That's clever! I don't know of a way to do it but if you discover a way,
please post it...
...a more expensive way to achieve this might be to couple an angle sensor
to the motor (I don't think there are pass through angle sensors so you'd
have to gear this somehow) and correlate the motor state with reading from
the angle sensor (so, for example, if your code thinks the motor should be
running but the angle sensor reads no rotation, it can assume a stalled
state and react accordingly...).
