Group,

Thanks everyone that has assisted with this BLDC motor controller.  Over th=
e weekend, after ~10 hours of diagnostics, the students finally got a contr=
oller to spin a motor!  This was all unloaded, so not a true test yet, but =
it at least gives them hope.  We tested 3 different boards, and there were =
MANY issues that needed corrected including incorrect component choices, in=
correct PWM frequency, failed components ("ya, when we were probing that pa=
rt, it sparked, but we figured it was probably ok"), bad solder connections=
, etc.  Needless to say, it was an educational experience.

Keep your fingers crossed as we test putting actual power out this weekend.

Thanks,
