monitor dc voltage - jrk0002 - Oct 13 15:41:54 2009
I am working on a robot project that needs a very efficient dc motor. In order to
determine the efficiency of the motor I need to log the amount of power that is used while
the robot is running. The robot will need to run for 3min running on 3~6 volts. Any help
with how this can be done with Basic X would be great!

Use one of the A/D inputs to read the motor voltage and log voltage vs
time would be one way. The input volts must be divided to not exceed 5v
Dc and would need to be filtered with a long time constant RC.
