Medusa Research, Inc. announces it's latest addition to the Power Analyzer Pro accessories, the RPM Phase Sensor for brushless motors.

A one wire connection to any one of the three wires on your brushless motor and you are set to read RPM. No magnets to mount, no lights to shine.

To use the sensor just connect the provided hassle-free 3.5mm bullet-type tap-in connector into your existing 3.5mm motor connectors without soldering, splicing, or piercing the wire insulation. Only one connection is required to any one of the three wires going to the brushless motor.

Installation with other types of connectors is also easy with the single lead construction of the sensor.

Then in the PowerPROview software just select the RPM Phase Sensor mode and set the number of “motor poles” and you’re ready to measure RPM!

Good thinking, but $13 is still a bit dear.

What if users have different connectors, eg 2mm ?


Your logo looks a bit like the old ITT symbol.

"mr" -- also not good !

"MeRe" -- maybe ???


But I like the graphics on your website,
very engineer looking.

I have a 3500 Velineon Brushless Motor. Traxxas indicates it is a 10-turn 3500Kv motor. Does this mean I should configure my RPM sensor for 10 pole? What about the Throttle and Curr Threshold values?

I run WOT tests and only get up to 8200 rpm with a 11.1V Li-Po

Typcially the number of magnets is the number of poles.

What about the Throttle and Curr Threshold values?Set the Throttle Threshold to 0 and the Curr Threshold to 0.5A
