I did a bunch of stuff on Joe's controller today. I found out when I tried to think every piece through, that I made a mistake in how I drilled the 5 holes in the aluminum plate. I had to drill 5 more holes in a different spot (I feel ashamed.

) So, Joe might need to plug those holes with maybe some silicon or something. Here are a few of the 59 pictures I took today:

I sanded off a bit of the tin residue stuff since I left the tin salts on it while I ran to the store to find ammonia to clean it. The bus bar that I cleaned off right away turned out way way better. You live and you learn. boohoo.
