Aussie Jester's shunt mod by wrapping the shunt in a bunch of copper gave me an idea. This was my first chance to use it, so I took some pics. I've modded shunts before, but the was never easy and a shot in the dark. The basic idea is to wrap just a portion of the existing shunt with copper and solder it in place, effectively reducing that portion of the shunt to near 0 resistance. eg I wanted to reduce my shunt's resistance by half, so I wrapped half of the shunt's length in copper. Mine wasn't a very neat job and I wanted to wrap each leg better, but this controller board is glued in the case forcing me to work from the end.
It seems like a good idea, so I thought I'd share it.
