What particulars are you after, Bob's nephew?
SighThey are not responsive at all. I would use EV controls (they are much better at responding0
I've had the same experience with EV Controls. I have one of their controllers and a Tesla Model 3 motor. The manual is very limited with conflicting information and you get nothing delivered with the control module.They never responded to me. Recently I got my “EV controls” unit. Super excited! I sent e v controls a couple follow up questions…. Like do I have to place a120 ohm resistor on terminal 19/20 of the LDU if I already have 2 resistors in the CAN BUS loop? One on the Orion BmS and one on the 6.6kW charger? And how do I power / activate the coolant pumps?? Thus far crickets….. sigh. Man I sound like a F’n Karen….
Ironically I received an e-mail today from da antics after what a month? Anyways I was able to contact ev controls this morning and as said above we shot 5 or 6 emails back and forth. I send a screenshot, he sends a flash file. Each time making progress. Took about an hour. In the end he said I was good to go. I pressed the drive button and….. nothing. I sent a dejected e mail and he replied “Did you have your foot on the brake when you tried to shift into gear??” 😣…. So after a quick adjustment the motor spun for the first time in the project!!I've had the same experience with EV Controls. I have one of their controllers and a Tesla Model 3 motor.

Emails are answered if repeated and if replied to quickly will be answered. I wonder if they only open Emails once a week. There should be a cheat sheet when initially powering up as it seems they need to see a screen grab of the motor info to decide what files are required to be flashed.
Good job I asked them. The App looks good though and its very cost effective.
I guess we are off thread here and should continue on a new one related to EV Controls.Ironically I received an e-mail today from da antics after what a month?

I’m stoked! Stopping by the auto parts store on my way home so I can get coolant to test out charging next. Bms also just fired up and says batteries at 50% state of charge. Pretty good for laying around for a full year….
things I learned: ev controls recommend separate canbus. I think I already said that. If you are trying to flash the drive and it isn’t working, cycle the key switch. Have your foot on the brake when shifting gears…
