Back in 2018 I bought an ME1507 and Sevcon Gen4 Size 6 directly from Motenergy, and had Frodus program the Sevcon and supply his wiring harness for it. Then life got in the way...
FFWD to yesterday, I finally got around to bench testing the rig using two of my Ego lawnmower batteries in series (114 VDC) and a small job box with some SPST switches for control and a 5K ohm pot for speed. Here's a quick vid:

Low and behold, it works! I think... Since the throttle is so twitchy I'm wondering if it's just because the motor is unloaded, or as mentioned earlier in this thread something may be reversed (sin/cos, or M2/M3). I'll fiddle with it today.
One thing's for certain, it's unfortunate to see nothing has changed when it comes to hobbyists getting the cold shoulder from Sevcon. According to Youtube, Curtis and Kelly have options for the ME1507 if I get frustrated. I definitely won't be buying $900 worth of software and USB dongles for connecting to this thing when I can spend less than that for a new controller that's easier to program.
