We are in the process of updating the G540 based on feedback and are looking for ideas that you would like to see in a production version of the drive. What we are adding so far:

1.) Trimpot redesign: The trimpots are now through hole trimpots located on the motherboard instead of the SMT ones located on the drives. This required a modification of the G250 as well, which allows remote adjustment of the smoothness trimpot. This means that you can use any regular screwdriver to adjust the trimpot and don't have to be as careful.

2.) Filtered current set resistor: The current set resistor is now filtered, meaning the resistor can be placed on the motor end of the cable with no problems.

Those are the major additions. Now we need you to recommend what else we need to put on there. The contest is simple: If you are the first to mention an idea and it makes it into the production version of the drive, you win a free redesigned G540. The first one to mention the feature will get the drive, and there is no limit to what we will add (provided it can be done and fits on the motherboard).

We will base the added features on how badly they are wanted, so if someone mentions something you would like on the drive please say so! The contest will run until we have a finalized PCB layout that is sent off to our board house for a production run. We will post on here when the contest is over and will notify the winners through PM. All winners will be the first ones to receive the drives as soon as they come off of our production line.

Thanks, and I look forward to see what you have in mind!
