Something unexpected did occur though. Out of the 11 boost converters I had available, two of them did not function at all. As a result I've ordered another 4 from eBay (E.T.A. 1.5 weeks).

Not much else this week!

Soon I hope to start finding the best way to harvest energy from the DC-link of a brushless motor controller, forcing it to pass generated power back from the motor.
