Re: [Electric Boats] Minn Kota Riptide controller

 

Hey George,

If you should want more variety you might look into building an all in one controller. You can buy prototype boards from Pic that can use this program for the motor control.

more on motor control can be found on the site at http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en544879

With their software and your effort you should be able to do what you want. You will have to make a driver for the motor size you will run.

It might make more sense to build your own speed controller, but if you wanted to interface to the existing controller you could certainly do it, without having to reverse engineer, with a digital rheostat like this one:
