I’d like to keep an eye on the battery pack temperature, to make sure things stay reasonably cool, and catch problems before they turn into a shitstorm. I use sensorless motors which means the sensor port on the [VESC based] FSEsc 4.12 is up for grabs. I assume it would be fairly easy to put a temperature sensor in the middle of the battery pack, connect it to the GND and Temp pins of the JST-6 and read the spoofed “motor temp” in the app.
Just not sure what kind of thermistor I should buy to avoid a calibration or re-interpretation of values. Which one is used in a typical sensored motor?
Thanks!
