Hey Jeffkay! We actually did add a trim pot to this controller, adjustable from 495amp to 775 amp, but it's mainly for later versions, because the controller is probably only safe to maybe 550 amps tops I'm guessing with 10 of those 60amp diodes. In fact, I wouldn't move it above 500 amps.

The mosfets got in early to Digikey, and I ordered all the digikey stuff today! ya! One of the control boards is finished being assembled. Now we get to see if I sent a crappy ATMega8 to the engineer or not. I couldn't really test the chips properly before mailing them to him. We'll see what happens.
