Any thoughts?
TIA!
I doubt it's the pot based on your previous charts. The output from the controller indicate that the pot is working well.

Would you repeat the test with another volt meter on the controller input from the battery? It should read the same as your battery voltage, but I'm almost betting that it'll be really low like the motor voltage.
