Paul is right about the controller being smooth. It responds to the pedal beautifully - even when creeping along with the motor barely turning. The controller also responds well to sudden throttle changes - keeps right up with no overshoot.
850 miles on my controller now
Just a few notes for anyone considering the controller for their vehicle:
- It works well, but it is in beta version so still a little rough around the edges, Fortunately it has really great tech support.
- It is big, about 15" x 12" x 5". Okay for my pickup truck, but would be tough to get into a tight engine compartment.
- It is powerful, I limit it to 900 amps but it can do 1500 or so (waiting to read reports from the guys running full power). I use it with a LiFePo4 battery pack, I think it would be pretty hard on a lead acid pack.
- For me it works much better with a Hall sensor throttle than a resistance pot.
- Paul's spread spectrum PWM make a rushing water sound on acceleration. I like it, YOMV. Other options can be programed.
- Air cooling seems to be adequate for daily commute type driving. (Again waiting to hear from the guys running higher power)
