Hey All,
· Is there a way to use amperage rise as an input to the stamp ? I want to sense a load on a motor.
Thanks all ready.

    We need more information. How much amperage are you dealing with?

    Motor peaks at 2A, normal running at .4A.
    Planning to use in conjunction with an inclinometer to determine gradient and torque load in order to automatically shift output gearing through a sprague clutch to a wheeled vehicle.
    Thanks
