You need a smoke stopper. Even if you have a multimeter. Even if you have a current-limited bench power supply. In this video I'll tell you why an automotive light bulb smoke stopper is the best form of smoke stopper.

Buy your own pre-made light bulb smoke stopper at:

* Rotor Riot - http://bit.ly/2QjX9Sf

To build a smoke stopper as shown in the video, use a 3157C standard bulb (2-element 27 watts / 8 watts). You can find this at your local automotive supply store, or purchase on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2EswmPb

You cannot use LED bulbs for this purpose!

If you are building for a Tiny Whoop, you can use just the 8-watt element which will pass about 1 amp of current on 4S voltage, and less on lower voltages. If you use both the 27-watt and the 8-watt element together, you will pass about 3 amps of current on 4S voltage.
