Ok, so here's the story:
I bought the AC35x2 /w rear aux shaft second hand without the controllers, never used.
I was hoping to quickly rig my own two controllers on it:
1238-7601 (650A) & 1238-7501 (550A)
I then discovered that motor required a special wiring harness with opto-isolator to split the encoder signal to the two controllers.
I asked EV West about the harness, and they ended up informing me that it wouldn't work with the 2 different controllers. So, I was faced with buying a new 1238-7601 to match my other. I paid for it a while ago now, but Curtis has been behind on production. A dual controller harness is also being made for me.
I doubt many people have two of the 144v controllers lying around, or would be willing to trade, and I'd still be short the harness. (No idea how proprietary the encoder isolator is)
Any other surprises I have to look forward to? Was getting the two controllers working together as master/slave tricky?
