great stuff ben. just wondering,,, is there something different in that controller that requires it to power up first? if its to charge the caps up could you put a charge resistor on the controller like we do with the curtis 1321c? just a thought! always love your videos mate!
Have you thought about replacing the switch for the controller with a relay that turns it on when you turn the key? That is a great controller by the way...I saw the tests that you and Paul have done. What a beast!
I need the power for the controller to turn on BEFORE the main contactor does. The key is rigged up to the main contactor. By having a separate switch for the controller, I can turn it on first.
The controller also has an un-used yellow wire for a future upgrade to have the controller open and close the main contactor, like a Zilla does.
can the controller limit current. on the current features list on the wiki it only mentions overcurrent shutdown.

you say open source but who designed it and who built it and where is the source at?

The Curtis controller is going back into the Citicar that I borrowed it from.
