Please make a bunch of them to sell
My Bomber is a beast off the line...heck sell them to Stealth as they do not have a fix.
As long as it works, the plan is to sell a bunch of them. I just need to do some testing to verify they are bug free, send out a couple prototypes for others to test (I'll ask for volunteers when I'm ready) and then go into production. Goal is to keep them cheap and sell a a lot of them. I'm thinking of offering a kit form as well for those who want to DIY and save me the trouble of assembly, but it's pretty easy.
I don't want to get ahead of myself though, first up is testing this bread board prototype after securing it with hot glue and duct tape (maybe some zipties too so I can get the kludge trifecta), then a perf board version once I know it works, then prototype PCBs to send out, then final PCB production and sales. Now that I'm at this stage I'm anticipating things going much faster because I'm quite motivated.
I've got tons of ideas if you read this thread, but I decided to go with the simplest solution for now to keep it easy for the end user and I figured 3 adjustment pots would be the simplest. It also makes writing instructions on setting it up much easier. Technically it can be done with nothing more than a screw driver once you have it connected between your throttle and controller, but a DMM will make it easier to do the initial setup.
I didn't have this ready for the Grange bike race which forced me to turn down the power a lot so my rider could control the bike, this would have let him run in a much higher power configuration and made his life easier.
