[PSUBS-MAILIST] Vesc motor temperature display

[Steve McQueen via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan, not sure if I am the Steve you were pinging, but to me the first question would be where/how are you wanting to measure/monitor the temperature? 
Some of the more sophisticated thrusters have overtemp sensors built in. Understanding the sensor type (thermocouple, RTD etc.) and how it is installed will lead to ways of monitoring/reading it

Thanks,
Steve
