REally??!!! I'm so happy!!!!! I love presents! Go Paul, it's your birthday, light a candle, throw a party!

By the way, maybe I mentioned that the isolation transformer is on it's way now. Only 40 days after buying it on Ebay. It was recommended to me by Fran so the microcontroller ground wouldn't be "hot", causing the programmer to explode in a shower of sparks!

Want to hear something interesting?! A company in Oregon just recently hired me to work on a charger and bms for some Lithium iron phosphate batteries. I even got to pet them. You are a good battery... Yes you are.... That's what I told them. I get to work from home, and it's just a couple hours a day, but I've been putting in a LOT of time, since I don't know very much, and I have to learn as I go! But I'll need to take a break from that, and maybe have it be every other day, so I can get that prototype 3 phase motor controller going! I'm so excited! The pwms are doing what they should. I know how to read the A/D inputs. Now it's just a matter of generating the proper space vector modulation. It doesn't look that hard. I just need a day to immerse myself in the process, and then a few more days of testing. It's called Tinitron. Check out tinitron.com if you want. hehe.

By the way, I bought a triple output power supply. 0-30v 3amp, 12v, 5v, for testing! hUrray!!! And a friend of mine sent me a super super super fancy oscilloscope.
