Other than the link to RC crew chief, I find that the motor info presented here is very similar to the info that comes from my Fantom. One item is that there are many more samples but the Fantoms only presents it in .1 second steps. I have talked to the Fantom's software designer and he cautions on one issue. Brushless motors are fed their voltage around the poles electronically where as brushed motors are mechanically timed at the motor commutator. This creates problems with amp draw sampling and readings that are displayed. Has anyone delved into that potential issue with the Eagle? I have found with the Fantom that the data seems to be smoothed enough that it is not really an issue and pulling the motor a couple of times, if you want, will verify that.
