Feature Added! Tested and working!

No problem, Darin!

So, now when you hold the wheel at 0 throttle, it only pulls gently. Just enough to get it rolling.
(not 0 current at 0 throttle! A little current at 0 throttle! Anger. That's 30 minutes of my night down the toilet! Duh! It won't move for some reason. What a mystery! Flames out of the side of my face!)

So, starts will be smooth. ya! There were a few bugs in the program. Go to garage, unhook everything, bring to room. reprogram, take to garage, plug in, test, unplug, take to room, reprogram, ... ANGER!

It works now. It's cool! must make video of it in action. It's really funny to see the PWM duty respond when I grab the wheel and say "NO! You will not turn!" It says, like a red headed step-child, "OK daddy. I'm real sorry..." Then I whoop the tar out of it.
