Hi Folks, I did a search on this & didn't really pull up to much

Has anyone Built & used the Revolt open source controller with success? I'm considering this my first project I plan on starting soon (researching at the moment)

I didn't even know about this project but it does look interesting

This appears to be the main site:

you can buy a full kit ready to solder together for $600 + shipping which is quite a prospect! from

It's certainly food for thought, I rather like the idea of soldering my own controller together but don't have the skills to build it from scratch!

Missed this post, I have built and am using this controller. It works very well, much smoother than my old Curtis. If you find yourself in the Scottish Borders I can give you a road test. At the moment I am working to integrate the controller with the BMS project on this forum.

On the DIY Electric car forum jackbauer in Ireland has build and modified an Open Revolt with some success.

Best scan thorugh it as much of the thread is of the BMW conversion.

From post 4,927 of the ecomodder forum build thread.

For those of you who want to learn how to build a controller in 45 minutes, instead of reading this thread for 3 weeks.....
