I think something that is overlooked is that the components to create a 400+volt inverter is in the thousands of dollars compared to a "lower" voltage of up to 300 battery volts.

I did test the driver again with a few adjustments I am am pretty satisfied with the driver. I am going to protoboard a good chunk of my logic now and add the two drivers to it. Since I don't have any DC/DC converters I will just use a 9v battery for my logic and then DeWalt batteries for the drivers.

I can probably protoboard it in an hour, but the coding will take a while as I have never coded C/C++ for dsPIC.

I'll try to get the driver schematics up tonight, probably as a scanned image of my notes.
