> What is the purpose of measuring the motor temperature Padu ?

It's just one more input for my robot behavior... I'm still not sure if I'm
gonna use it, but if I do decide later that it is important, I won't have
the chance to redesign the board I'm working on. Since hardware is not as
easy to modify as software, I'm including it now.

The purpose is something like this: "If motors are too hot, stop and let
them cool down a bit."

The platform is an R/C monster truck powered by two 14.4V Titan DC motors
(550).

Cheers

Padu
