VOTE! February modification of the month
Vote for your favourite modification from February. In no particular order they are:
( Here's the January winner, in case you missed it.)
Winner gets either a free EcoModder t-shirt (if we have your size), or $20 off an official pre-assembled MPGuino.
Don't see a project that you think should be in the list? Is yours missing? Well, tough luck! You need to nominate it to have it included. Feel free to suggest projects for next month. (See the nomination thread for this round, here: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ions-7136.html)
Any project that was either started or had a significant development in Feb qualified to be included.

I voted strategically this time...
And my vote went to Binger's LED tail light project.
I like it because:
- lots of pics
- lots of how-to information
- includes info about the before/after impact (electrical load)
- it's finished!
Too bad the car died shortly after he finished that thread!
I know I'll have a chance to vote again for some of the other as yet unfinished projects - that was the strategic part of my decision.

Motor controller here too. Bringing higher voltage to the masses, invaluable!

I think the transmission died. Probably Harikiri out of shame because he started this thread, planning ahead for his next car: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...-tdi-7158.html |

I voted for the NEMO. I like how well it is documented including the price of parts.

I hope the motor controller wins, and I hope it is a huge success.
I think that us tinkerers can easily come by or work our way around everything but the motor controllers quite easily (Batteries? No problem. Motors? Who do you think we are? We have been pulling apart motors from childhood. But accurate and safe power controls are very hard to come by.)
