Loaded the software (Thank-you Paul) and took the first test run today.
As Flores had reassured, loading the program with MpLab/Pickit3 was simple and uneventful.
Turned on the truck, a few seconds later the main contactor closed - so far, so good. With the truck in neutral I very slowly stepped on the accelerator, the second contactor closed - also good
I continued slowly depressing the pedal -
I continued slowly depressing the pedal - At last the motor begins turning!!!!
It works! Time for a test drive!
So backed out the drive - incredibly smooth my old controller was never this well behaved.
Out in the street put it in 2nd gear and put the pedal on the floor. With 300 motor amps on the gauge, acceleration can best be described as gentle. Drove it up and down the street some. Great to be running again but definitely need more amps!
Paul can I get a copy of the program that is a little more aggressive? I would like max current at about 800 amps. My second contactor closes at about 3% throttle so less dead space on the throttle would also be good.
Thanks
Jerald
