I have sealed</div><div>the wires out of the motor, so it's not a reasonable option to separate the</div><div>thermistor from the pcb. And again I am needing the reading from this thermistor</div><div>to go into the esc for over-temperature control.</div><div>The Esc attaches to a computer via a usb connection. I am not sure what</div><div>protocol is used to transfer this data. At some stage I am wanting to be able </div><div>to display all this data ( motor & esc temperature, Voltage, Amp draw, rpm, run</div><div>time duty cycle) on my HMI. But at the moment just looking for the motor</div><div>temperature. </div><div>I am on holiday at the moment & will have another determined look at this when</div><div>I get back!</div><div>Cheers Alan</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br>On 1/01/2019, at 2:15 AM, Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings><o:AllowPNG/><o:PixelsPerInch>96</o:PixelsPerInch></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px"><div><span>Alan,</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1546261739311_4027"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1546261739311_4026">I'm not familiar with the motor.
