Electric Ninja

 After a series of setbacks, the production Synkromotive controller arrived at my house from Portland Oregon. There are now high hopes ZXE will be operational by the end of this quarter *exasperatedsighofrelief*. The wiring diagram has been finished for a few weeks now, so from here on out it's time to cut, crimp, solder and heat shrink!

Here's a screenshot of my wiring diagram, put together with Microsoft Visio:

The 156 Volt, 700 amp controller is being run at 96 Volts for the pack I have at the moment. The Synkromotive is a beautifully designed controller. Weighing in at about 6 lbs, air cooled and USB programmable it has quite a few advantages over other controllers on the market right now. I know that the next production run of the controller has the potential to do 1000 peak amps which means it is a competitor with the Cafe Electric Zilla 1k. There are noteable advantages though over the ~30 lb water cooled Zilla that make it ideal for my project.

The nicely labeled wiring harness is much appreciated:
