Hello i need a Idea how run a DC Motor but monitoring the voltage with a A/D pin.
my problem is my Volt Divider is not Stable so mi reading are no correct.
10k and 10.5k in my Divider

or
please send a example
thanks

Motor is turned off automatically during PWM off ( or LOW ) periods ...
just sample and hold during this moment.
that's how all ESCs current limiting devices work ... they just sample the power mosfets voltage loss ( = Intensity * Rds ON ... ), and compare with a reference.
Here, the "free running" ( PWM LOW state ... ) voltage of your motor is proportionnal to the rotor speed ...
That's all !!!
