Got it! Thanks for sending via express mail, Knuckles. It looks really good. The build quality is much higher than my old C-lyte version 2. I'll try to figure out how to hook it up, including my cruise contol, this weekend. I think your instructions pretty much cover it all, except perhaps...

Knuckles, What's goin' on w/ the delivery of my Infineon controller? You quoted a 2 week delay but we are now at about 6 weeks since I paid you. In the meantime, I've purchase so much gas for commuting in my pickup truck that I could've bought a Kelly controller a couple of times! Thanks...

They are way cheaper than C'lyte and, hopefully, way more reliable than my C'lyte ver. 2 controller. I think my Infineon will ship from China any day now. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5713

Fechter's the expert but, on my board, all three leads of the blow FETs were shorted. Just ohm them out and you'll see zero resistance across any given pair of leads. Of course, that's not all that blew on my board. I'm waiting for my new controller to arrive from Knuckles.

I feel your pain! That's exactly where my controller smoked a few months ago; the FETs go and the power plane and / or vias to the other side of the board blow. I had to repair them with solid copper wire and replace the two FETs, gate transistors and resistors, etc. It just blew in the same...

My C'lyte contoller FETS fried again today. Same two FETs and It was on the same long sustained hill climb at 20 mph as last time. The controller was strapped to the front of my bike in full airflow--about 80F ambient temperature. I'm running a 5304 and Yesa "48v" pack. Maybe Knuckles can...

I finally ordered the transistors from DigiKey. Great company! They charged me only for actual U.S. Postal postage. I didn't think any mail order stores did that any longer because they can skim additional profit in "handling" charges. After replacing both the PNP and NPN transistors with...

Then they should work for me too. I bet I still have something fried on my board. More ohm meter work!

The old schematic shows a 2N5551 for the NPN side. Is this part okay, fecter? http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=MMBT5551FSCT-ND Thanks, -Cal
