Re: reverse-voltage protection

Oh, I was thinking MOSFETs were more like JFETs. That's too bad.
That means in order to have a controller that wouldn't care which side you hooked up the power, you'd need to use JFETs and pre-amplify the signal from the H-bridge drivers. (Supplying power to all this would require a bridge rectifier on both sides)
That's a pain.
