I'm making another controller so that I can take video and pictures of some of the process that I missed last time due to dead camera batteries and because my process last time was sort of not that good sometimes, now that I'm not just making it up (as much) as I go along. I'm using the wiki for ordering parts to give me a chance to see if there are any bugs. I've fixed a few. There ain't nothing like actually doing something to see if it works!

One thing I noticed that would streamline the parts ordering process is having an Excel file on the wiki so that people can just cut from it, and paste it into the FAST BOM LOADER on Mouser. There's not that much from Digikey, so it's not as much of a problem.

Also, there are some components like bus bars and whatever that we don't have sources for listed yet.
