Hello! See page 32. Wait 3 hours to download it, then go to page 32. haha

Page 39 has a picture of it after it's soldered. Page 44 shows where the 2 ground wires poke through the control mounting board, and where they get soldered to the control board. Sorry about some of the pictures. It's green ground wires in some of the pictures, and blue in others. The pictures are a collection of a few controller assemblies, since the process evolved as I went along. Then they magically become yellow ground wires in the next picture down. But it's the same ground wires. They are the ones that get soldered to PH1 and PH2.

The control board doesn't have to be connected, but it can be connected to the power section while testing it. It just makes it a little easier to troubleshoot if the gate resistors aren't all soldered already.

There's hardware current limiting, which is adjustable from about 495amp to 775amp. The software current limit isn't user settable, since Fran thought that would be a good way to blow things up. hehe. It could be made user adjustable though.
