Changes so far:
Updated transistors to NTMFS5C628NL MOSFETs, targeting 30A operation
PCB special plating of 4.5oz copper for high current
Switched to standard-size fuse for easier replacement
Added red LED fuse-blown indicator
Supports both 12V and 24V systems
Merged rudder sense and E-stop connectors into a single waterproof connector/cable assembly
Using JST JWPF waterproof connector series
Added cooling fan control via PB5 pin
Fan activates whenever the pump is running or autopilot is engaged
Main goals are reliability, serviceability, and keeping everything marine-friendly.
Still open to ideas for other features or protection/monitoring functions people would find useful.
