The DC option of the Electric Motor Module, as many have already suggested, is simply less money to develop. That's where the effort is focused for now.

Made some updates to the next version of the HVJB - or the backplate, anyway. Picture attached. Not complete, but close.

Wire up the first separate version of the LVJB - again, just a backplate. Picture attached. Not complete, but close.

Update sketches for wiring diagram and schematic. Pictures attached.

Order 3 gigavac contactors

On the todo list, but not yet done:

The DC motor that I'm using has a separately excited field. That gives some control of the available starting torque of the motor, but it involves a more complex controller than I have. There is a requirement to turn off the armature current if there is a problem with the field current, so that the motor does not speed up dramatically and exceed it's safe operating speed. I have a circuit that should work ..
- need to verify the operation of 'loss of field current' circuit

But just in case ... safety first!:
- install scatter shield (metal plate) between DC motor and cabin
