yes. I'll post all of that. To truly keep it simple, maybe I should just keep the voltage monitoring, change the dspic back to atmega, dump the CAN, and remove the driver section from the control board, and make it all thru-hole. Mr. Bigh's boards are designed for 15v input voltage instead of 12v. HEY!

I think it's even non-isolated. That would be perfect. And 10 watts continuous would be plenty for driving those igbts I think.
