Holy cow, I soldered the 6 optocouplers where the 6 drivers were supposed to go. It took me like 6 hours to remove all the solder from the stupid holes and to put the 6 drivers in. Then I had to reorder the 6 hcpl-4506 optocouplers. I "overnighted" them, but tomorrow's saturday, so like an idiot, I just thought that was still a good idea. Know what? overnighting a shipment when the next day is saturday costs 2 times more than a normal overnighting. That was really really really dumb. I have to have that motor spin before monday. I HAVE TO!!! That's the rules. I didn't write 'em.

Hey, I put together a BOM for the AC controller. The new software as far as I can tell can't output the part numbers and name in the schematic. Like:

U7 IXDD4414pi
D1 abcdefg
R1 asflajsfsaf

So, I went through and typed each and every stinking part! There were like 300 of them I think. 97 resistors I believe, and 67 capacitors I think. We should post that bugger on the wiki I guess.
