Paul,

If you put a small lamp in serie with the motor , you can monitor the
current drawn by thr motor through a lightsensor.
The more current the more the light, there is only one thing you have less
motorpower.

Gretings,
Rik

Hi,

I'd like to be able to monitor the current being drawn by a motor using • the
RCX (not the CyberMaster :-( ), so that I can detect stalls and possibly
spins. I can't believe that this is particularly hard but I can't find any
references to one on the web and I'm not a hardware kind of guy so I don't
really know where to start.

Has anyone done this? Can anyone point me at schematics/build • instructions?

Regards - Paul.
