| The initial idea was to connect moteino's digital input on the three wire connecting the motor to the speed controller. Then, because I sensed that the community of rc drivers were reluctant to the idea of interfering with the precious signal coming from the expensive controller, I though that the "sensored" connector might be a good option. | The initial idea was to connect moteino's digital input on the three wire connecting the motor to the speed controller.

| Looking at its specification, I realised that not only I could get the same result but also that the controller powers to PCB inside the motor with 5V (just what we need to power the moteino) but also that the motor was equipped with a small thermistor that I could use to read motor temperature. | Looking at its specification, I realised that not only I could get the same result but also that the controller powers to PCB inside the motor with 5V (just what we need to power the moteino) but also that the motor was equipped with a small thermistor that I could use to read motor temperature. |
