Re: 1970 Opel GT - Forklift ACIM - Project Log & Inverter Build

Re: 1970 Opel GT - Forklift ACIM - Project Log & Inverter Build

Hey Matt, have you gotten the Opel rolling yet?

Could you post what components you ordered from Digikey if you still have that info?
I'm in the same boat you were, I'm staring at a list of 1uf capacitors and I don't know which ones will work.

[WIP] 2nd Gen Prius into....Not sure yet.

I'm tonycoke from Dallas TX.
I bought a 2006 Prius for $350, unplugged the buzzer that came on when the anti-lock break module goes out, then drove it for about 20k miles.
