[PSUBS-MAILIST] Motor Controller Tractor Beam

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Sort of.  Connected my motor controllers to a couple of 12v motors just to test the configuration.  The tractor control with one 2-axis joystick is fantastic and exactly what I'm looking for.  It's a little more sensitive than I care for, I think due to having 10k ohm potentiometers on the joystick.  The controller documentation recommends 1-5k ohm potentiometers but I hadn't read that far when I ordered the 10k model.  So I'll probably pick up the same joystick with 5k ohm pots and see if it feels better.
The software interface to the controller is great, giving me control over many parameters that affect the performance of the motors including safety shut-downs and limiting current, rpms, and even how fast it revs up to max rpms.
