Hi Mike,
Interesting re the standard info. I manage the same with my standard battery monitor and the standard controller programmer. Plus as I use a Color Control and even just using an old broadband router with the broadband disabled I can get the BMV data on my phone over WiFi in the cockpit over a local LAN IP address.
I bought this programmer 2nd hand:

Which works fine with my Sigma Drive Traction PM:

using my Lynch D135 DC brushed motor.
All a workaround for me as not a programmer. Motor RPM doesn't concern me as from experience I know from throttle position and motor voltage/voltage constant roughly what it is.I was going to fit a bicycle speedometer and sensor to the shaft which would effectively give me RPM but after playing with a cheap IR handheld RPM meter that cost but a few dollars I knew where I was.
As you say unless one is a programmer it all gets quite expensive. Oceanvolt info is good on the Color Control GX from Victron and again quite pricey but with the firmware port to a Pi and a Beaglebone I think that offers options using NMEA 2000 quite cheaply.
I daresay the industry will get there. I wonder if anyone has looked at adapting one of these?
