[NSRCA-discussion] Controller... what would you want in yours???

[Keith Black]

This actually should be pretty straight forward. When the battery is
connected if the voltage is lower than X (set by user, say 40 volts), an
alarm goes off (beep beep beep) and you have to pump the throttle stick (or
something like that) to stop the alarm.  This is really a good idea Vince!

What about automatic adjustment for voltage drop so we don't fee any
difference in stick position during the whole schedule?
