Hi Paul
I will take the blown MOSFETS off the board and clean it up
I am worried because each time I do something it moves further from its initial condition

Like it's been through the wars

I have learned a lot about soldering and electronics from this project
So I would probably feel happier about starting again

I expect that I would be able to produce a more workmanlike product

With that in mind - where are you on the bigger controller - 1000amp? - I had always intended to upgrade at some time - now would seem to be a good time!

I will clean up the MOSFET mess,
Desolder the control board where the connections to the power board go in

I am nervous about desoldering and replacing the MIC445 - the control board represents a small part of the total cost - and the finer soldering requirements!
