I played with my controller a bit today.
I am not sure why it was acting weird on me.
I now have a new Serial to USB adapter, so I could hook it up to the tablet computer again.
I re-hooked up the main contactor to run from the Cougar controller. There have been a few times when the contactor wouldn't pop down. I think it might need rebuilding, or it may be that my car battery is running a bit low, and has exactly not enough voltage every once in a while to pop the contactor down.
If I just tap it, it pops right down.
I adjuste the Ki and Kp settings on the controller and got my acceleration a little more smooth and even. I also set the amp limiting all the way up. I can spin the tires in first again!
Also, I now have just over 2000 miles since electric conversion!
