Well, 1000amp is with a 50% derating on the parts. hahaha. Here's my problem:

The dang blasted friggen stupid setup fee for the stupid idiotic boards and shipping! 2 driver boards, 2 power boards, and 2 control boards.

The setup fees for the power board:


For the driver board:


For control board:


But check out how cheap they get in bulk!!! Like $0.50 each.

Well, I have $55 because Bill ordered a power board from me, that I still haven't milled yet, but don't tell him that. I'm doing that this weekend. I can build and solder and test the controllers at lower power, since I don't have a motor that can test it at 1000 amps, if you guys want to pay for parts, and share the cost of the boards' first order with me? I have $55 to donate to it.

What happens if by some bad miracle something just blows up in testing? I won't have the money to reimburse you guys.
