Ha!

Until sleep takes me away I am going to queue up "Aliens" on the TV.

Because they mostly come out at night...

Mostly.

Looks like the magnet kicker circuit is working

Mo quote:

" Every time I touch either DMM lead to the circuit in order to set up for a reading I will immediately notice an RPM change (audibly).  I believe this is still due to the "antenna" effect from my DMM leads introducing noise to my BLDC motor drive circuit."

I wonder if would make a difference you added a diode between your DMM probe and the circuit...just in case your DMM is causing a mild short ?

Thanks!  I can try that now.  Results in a few...

The Schottky I used did seem to negate the "load" effect on the readings.

I'll try more tests later.  As I said, I am tired, and need sleep.  But first I will watch a bit more of "Aliens".

Thanks Cap-Z-ro!
