Unless I've missed something, I thought the Uprising controller was for Brushed DC, not BLDC or ACIM (Which is what this is meant for).

Interesting. There were a number of things that weren't clear on the thread. I do like the connector, but it wasn't clear how the driver boards were connected - through the connector, with everything else??
Also, the project seems to have evolved into a much different direction. I do like the small surface mount construction. However, the controller is not a PIC, so code won't be portable. In other words, all Paul's work to develop code would need to be translated. If there were any improvements in code (from either side), they would also need to be translated. My guess is eventually, no one is going to bother translating.
I need to post a few questions about these details on the other thread.
My concept was to build a code transparent controller, just use surface mount versions of the IDENTICAL components. Where there is an advantage to using through hole, TH components would be used. If this hardware were allowed to evolve differently than the board Paul is working on, there will come a time when they will no longer be compatible. This has already happened with the other controller.
I really like the open source philosophy on the Revolt controllers, and I merely wanted to offer another hardware option. The idea was any bugs, fixes, etc that show up with the TH board should also work for for the SM board.
