I know that I haven’t really posted in here but I have read until my eyes have bled, and this is the sweetest thread. I'm true ally interest in a diy controller as I would like to do a home bred hybrid using waste vegetable oil as well as biodiesel. I've spent a good portion of my life as an auto mechanic, a maintenance mechanic, a company electrician and a programmer. I have a perfect candidate vehicle an 81 vw rabbit diesel unfortunately i need to tow it to my house and it so freaking cold right now I'm not going to attempt it just yet. You see its been sitting in a field with the cylinder head removed about 30 miles from my house. I have a whole other engine and trans and another head. My plan is to keep the fwd as diesel and do a rwd as electric I have studied extensively in doing the wvo conversion as well as the making of biodiesel. I also have a slight outside chance of aquiring a komatsu 48v forklift which would supply the motor that I would mate to one of my tansmissions then scronge my local junk yard to get another front suspension and use my sawsall die grinder welder etc to graft the two together. Completely experimental but I beleive to be feasible. Your Idea of a diy controller is true ally a godsend as money is tight and nothing is free and anything to help trim the cost as well as get an education is great
