Flash! Bang! ~smoke~

A mixed and late night last night.

On one hand we got the drive shaft rotating accurately under computer controlled power. Here is a video of one of the drive shafts doing quick 60 degree turns.

Rotating Wheel

There is a bit of oscillation, but that should be seriously reduced once the wheel is under load (the car is still up on blocks).

On the other hand, we managed to blow up one of the motor controller boards. Hopefully the components weren't too badly damaged and we can repair the board, or Simon has a spare board and we may be able to piece together enough to build a new one.
