Protecting Analog Inputs: How often and how bad will it fail?

Basically, I am using the source-drain resistance of the MOSFET as a current-sense resistor. A crude measurement of the current is all that is necessary.

That's not a real good idea you could read the copper trace resistance would work better and save you a headache

That's the way cheap DVM read it better one's use a wire thats made to have constant reading with temperature.
