I replaced the voltage regulator, but the board still doesn't work. I have some things hooked up right, I know. I can use the joystick to dial in one bar of regen, but that's not the most useful thing in the world. I may have hooked something up wrong, or more likely melted one of the IC's with my iron. It's tough when you're creating a board layout ad hoc from a schematic.
Oh, well. $17 worth of components in the trash, and I've ordered MIMA C - the full featured version which adds battery temperature probes, fan control, a method of reading the battery current sensor instead of Honda's lying gauge, and the option to program your own MAP sensor based assist/regen scheme. Maybe it is the feature creep that priced MIMA C beyond the reach of most enthusiasts. I've opted for the ~$200 assemble-it-yourself version, but I really wish there were a $50 pre-built MIMA L.
Boat tail: I will not meet my project goals without one. I've placed an order with a metals supplier, and it was supposed to be in on Monday but it's not here yet. I will complete a temporary aluminium and coroplast boat tail Soon(tm).
