Hi. Yes, I see it now, thanks.
I also see you're taking no chances and truly building everything from the ground up. Please tell us that multitap transformer is off-the-shelf and you have no plans on winding that yourself :-)
I have no experience with DSPic and generally prefer Atmel stuff over Microchip's, though it's a necessary evil in this application. Are you also planing on releasing your project code open source?
Have you considered a step up converter to run the inverter at a higher voltage? I've seen some designs that claim as much as 97% efficiency in the up conversion. That would open up a world of possibilities by letting us run a smaller pack but use industrial motors designed for higher voltage. A >300V bus would make the machines happy. Hopefully the higher voltage bus increases efficiency enough to overcome the ~3% up-conversion loss.
Paul & others, sorry for hogging your thread, this is very exciting stuff!
