I don't think 'current control' is any more complicated than what you described. By the way, the open revolt software follows a 'current controlled' scheme.

If the software is tuned correctly, the open revolt will never trip the hardware overcurrent circuit. In fact, the hardware overcurrent circuit was put in mostly to prevent an errant software bug from blowing up the controller.

You could probably get a circuit like yours to work with enough time and spare silicon, but you might want to look at the open revolt software. Admittedly, there's a lot of extra stuff in there to handle things like various throttle sensitivities, overtemp protection, serial communication, EEprom settings storage, etc., but the throttle/output current control is pretty basic at its core. Feel free to ask questions...

Looks like Adam has an archive of the software on his website.
