This voltage range shouldn't change with Paul's Melexis part for high amp controller. So 1000A will still be conveyed over the same 511 steps. In my firmware there is a "scaler"parameter associated with motor amps. It was added because my custom Cougar firmware's full throttle range is 600A versus standard 500A, so I needed to scale CF's 511 range to 600. I see no problem with this being able to scale to 1000A.
Paul's quote of readable amperage was very funny. Could the scale be adjusted to 2000A?
