if viewed in your project list.
Also, can I replace this one 140-50N2-180J-RC (Backordered) with any other? Guess I should be able to with 140-500N5-180J-RC
Also, would be nice to make some sort of delay (2-3 cek) for displaying the mAMPs and bAMPs during driving, due to the fact that human eyes cannot adjust to changing numbers that fast 
I know someone would say "YOUR EYES WILL ADJUST" as in "Alvin and the Chipmunks" where Ian Hawke was given Simon a new pair of glasses ...
Thank you, good work!!!

Youri,
The alternate part you show is 5mm spacing vs 2.5mm. Instead use 140-50N2-180J-TB-RC. It's the same as original but will be on a paper strip (ammo pack).
For 863-NTD4858N-1G use 863-NTD4904N-1G. Origial was used since I had quite a few on hand from old projects. They really are overkill, but will run cool and are cheap as far as power MOSFETS go.
You can slow down display of mAmps and bAmps (if from cougar serial message) by changing your RTD-PERIOD time in the controller to something slower. I use 200ms, but you can use 500ms or 1000ms if you like the slow update. If your bAmps is from a hall sensor, then things get tough. The display update is in the same main loop as all the other A2D sampling, averaging and other calculations. To slow it down with a simple delay routine would slow down everything else. It can be done with a counter specific to the display portion, but not something I'd have time for right now. Will keep it in mind for future firmware as an option.
