Thanks for checking on the quick power removal, at least we know one controller can handle a quick period without power. I still need to be careful about finding one that can handle not only short times without power but also a 3x change in voltage.
They aren't the controllers ill be using in the end, but the ones I have laying around have the same neutral input/3 second thing going on as I remember from using them previously.
Ive bought some fun stuff to assist in my testing etc, such as some 1/4 inch aluminum, aluminum rod for the motor/gear adapter, and some gears. Assuming everything is here by weekend as it should, I should have a chance to get on a mill over the weekend and make a test setup to throw some motors on. I also picked up an infrared temp sensor which may be of use.
I need to get started on my cnc mill soon, thats a big project in itself and is what is going to hold up my e-charger setup from getting very far. But, Ive been busy as most people are.
