A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I'm actually a retired electrical engineer, used to do aircraft avionics. Anyway it's a simple thing to measure amperage loading on the motor to set a threshold for sleep and wake. But in engineering there's always more than one way to accomplish a task. An optical sensor and timer would be another way to do it.
