Thanks Paul!

Did you have a general list of IO features for your DC controller? Since a controller is more than just a power stage, I'm trying to figure out what IO (switches, LED drivers, etc) to put on the board.

My current list is:
Pot inputs
  • Throttle
  • Regen
  • Auxiliary
Inputs
  • Throttle enable
  • Regen enable
  • Valet switch
  • Forward
  • Reverse
  • Motor Encoder
  • Motor Temperature Sensor (What should this be? Thermistors can't handle Class H motor winding temps)
Cruise control:
  • On
  • Off
  • Set speed
  • Encoder 1
  • Encoder 2
Digital Outputs
  • Analog gauge driver (speedometer/tachometer)
  • D/N/R LEDs
  • Thermal Derating indicator LED
Contactor drive
  • Main
  • Precharge (should this be internal?)
Fan drive (variable speed, 5A max)
  • Inverter
  • Motor

Regards,
David
