So. It's been tough splitting my time between this project and installing the new controller from Paul. Pretty much, I work on the car in the evening while it's still light and not so f-in hot, then go in and play around with the charger.
I finally worked up the guts to hook it up to a battery, so I grabbed the 12v atm out of my ecar (it's all torn apart anyway while I install the controller) and connected the alligator clips. I did a couple tests at low current to see how the current sensor was working. Even down below an amp, the output was filtered enough by the cap I have on the adc input to be constant. Then, enabled the control loop in the code and let her rip! No problems. The control loop held the current constant without a hitch. I only went up to 8 amps since I knew the battery was already fairly charged.
Next step is voltage measurement and programing it all into some sort of charge algorithm.
