Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] thruster bearings

["Alan James" <alanjames@xtra.co.nz>]

Hi Ian,
I didn't buy a controller with it & I just used a couple of relays to
switch the polarity. I haven't attached my motors yet but were intending
to have them fixed rather than rotating. To get them rotating through 180
degrees was going to be a pain.
Regards Alan
