User JACKBAUER on ECOMODDER.COM has been busy over in Ireland working on a home-built open source controller that will run a 13″ forklift motor for his BMW conversion.
This is the latest video of his.
Also, notice that he is using the car’s original throttle sensor as the input source to the controller, just like Tom G did on his AC Dodge Neon. In EV conversions, it’s always nice to reuse as much of the existing car parts as possible, especially if it means saving you having to purchase a new potentiometer!
For more on his project, visit his other YouTube videos or go to his comments in the Open Source Controller thread on Ecomodder.
