Hi Ben! One thing you could change is use metal end caps with rubber grommets. I also can't remember if I used R15 = 220 and R16 = 6.8 kOhm. If that one guy is handy, you could ask him to check to see if they are what they should be. A consequence of using the older values of 330 and 3 kOhm could be radio interference. I had a talk with Fran about that about a week ago. hehe.

Also, there is a tiny code change that should happen because maybe the code was causing what I thought was latchup of the microcontroller. I think Joe already has a fix on his. It only comes up occationally under very hard acceleration.

Fran is helping out with making the code better, so I think I'll wait a little bit before shipping out a new micro, but I'll definitely send one out. Don't worry.
