Motor controller survey

[pengl]

Hi
We're a small business in the UK who plan to produce a general purpose single-channel motor controller and we'd like to find out what features are important to different types of user.
We've prepared a short survey http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1582969/Motor-Controller-Survey and I'm inviting forum readers to complete it.
To anyone who does: thanks for your time.

Thanks for taking the time. We already had quite a few responses and the data is going to be really useful.

Hello, I'd like to add that we're aiming to build a controller that allows the user to programme more than just a few parameters. Essentially we'd like users to be able to write programmes to process inputs from sensors (crankshaft torque sensors etc.) and download logged data. In terms of design quality and components used we will ensure that is not working like as an electric heater. Any comments welcome. Thanks for you help.

For god's sake, Don't useBluetooth!

I think you are deluding yourself to think of Chinese controllers as 'electric heaters' - they have hell a lot more electronic engineers and machine code level programmers than we do. Don't try to re-invent the wheel. Just ask the likes of Lishui to supply you one with communication port and stick to selling them.
By the way, you can download data from the LCD.
