I'm planning on going to NAMES, too, and I think Steve Stallings is also going there. So, maybe we need a breather between April 17 and the EMC fest. Probably June would be fine, though, if people were already reserving some time that month.
As for projects, I will have my commutation converter for Panasonic brushless motors, and hopefully it can be adapted to other motors, too. Also, I'd like to work on a low-pass filter on the D term of the PID, to try to get rid of the 1/2 F sampling jitter. (Yes, a surprisingly sparse offering for a whole year....)
