I've never tested a pwm duty of 1 at locked rotor. That's a good idea. I think this will be OK, because Fran suggested this approach, and Otmar suggested something similar (but his way required that I have a Digital Storage Oscilloscope). Otmar's idea is to charge the capacitors, and then pulse the throttle just with the energy in the capacitors. You can capture about 10ms of data from that. Now *all I need* is like $5000 for the DSO. I can make that much money in like 5 seconds!
