I read through the 10 pages last night. I believe that Tomdb transplanted a new control board onto the Honda power electronics.

I have not gone through the pictures as yet. I'm sure there are more details there that I missed.

If I were to guess (I do that a lot) I would say that using Tomdb's board would be similar to what I am planning to do with Paul's control board on my old industrial VFDs.

I would expect that Tomdb's method would work for you. I have not looked through the many links, so I don't know how easy it will be.

I am quite confident that the method that I plan to use will also work for you. Except that I have not already done it. And it is quite possible that Paul's board will not fit into the Honda IMA enclosure.

The RING cap on Paul's controller is part of the power section. It pretty much covers the 3 IGBTs, the hall effect sensors, and the heat sink. The Control board is on the one end.

I'll pull my control boards out of their packing and take a couple of pictures tonight
