Ya, you could use this controller, if the stupid thing ever works. haha. It's just a 3 phase motor right? They may not be very forthcoming about some of the details of the motor characteristics, but it's possible to deduce the characteristics by doing some tests with it.

Well, I need to debug the circuit a little bit. It might be working, but I can't tell without my oscilloscope right now. Using an LED didn't work very well, and the stupid volt meter was no help either. I'm going to get this in a few weeks I think:
usb oscilloscope

It's worked pretty well for the people that I've talked to.
