    if you need a project box go to a radioshack and you can get them cheap there.

    Thanks -I have plenty here.

    The final product won't require a specific project box (it will be hidden under the seat -only the pot for the controller will be visible).

    I just wanted to find two boxes, one with more RF shielding to see if I could improve the performance of the prototype.

    UPDATE:
    The 4hi option is done -that was the easy part.
    Varying the duty cycle to vary the torque split is about 80% (the frequency drifts a little -needs refinement).
    The display interface is designed, but not tested.

    The "display interface" would just ground out each of the display LEDs on the dash. It would also turn off the AUTO lamp whenever the knob were turned away from the auto setting.

    I've been stupid busy at work, and with the snow melting, I have a ton of household chores to do as well. This at the top of my personal priority list, but it lags behind the job (and the wife's) demands.
    Oh, to be single and unemployed again...

    Oh ok, I was wondering if you were coming up with some new slick display for it.

    I know what you mean about real life getting in the way of fun. Ack.

    How 'bout we agree to only bug him once every couple of weeks? OK, how 'bout NOW??? Don't worry beach, we'll wait for genius. (We'll wait longer for new slick display, though.)

    I still donate a few hours every couple of weeks to this project. We are ramping up for our summer project season, so despite the 21+ hours of daylight, I'm still running out of time to get things done.
