I scrounged some DB-9 RS-232 cables and adapters at work today (thanks, guys!) and was able to talk to the controller - pretty awesome!!! Two thoughts I had were (and have had) are 1.) the controller protects from turning on the juice when the throttle is nailed... but what if the 0 - 5k throttle comes open while you're traveling down the road? guess it would go 100% and you would just have to hit the red button - or turn off the key at that point. 2.) My other fear is having the motor lock up electrically. Since you can't set up a permanent magnet motor to "plug" or engine brake - maybe that is not a concern - I'll do more research.
