Great open source project you guys have going here.
I'm only a recent lurker, and have read the whole lot.
I would love to help where possible. I have plenty of electronics experience, and can design schematics and PCBs in Protel, draw and model in Autocad and Pro Engineer. I'll help whenever I see an opportunity, but you guys have already done so much great work, and EV motor control is a new area for me.
Are the controller PCB's already being designed?
Those aluminium heatsink cases are great and generally have PCB slots inside but are reasonably expensive due to the aluminium content and die costs for the extrusion.
If you need and can utilise the heatsink properties of the case then it is great but you will need to consider the case before committing to the final PCB design.
Once you have the extrusion picked out. A CAD drawing of some end plates with the cutouts for connectors and maybe a fan grill etc can be used by anyone with a CNC mill or water or laser cutter to make some smart ends to finish it off.
Hey presto, I like it.
Can't wait to build my own.
Cheers,
