3 phase control

I've been reading up a lot on 3 phase motor control while waiting for my motors and controllers to arrive; I've found a lot of good information online, these are two of the best links:

Edit: the control is a lot more complex than I thought and will require more computing power, so my initial assumptions were incorrect. Fortunately there are a number of microcontrollers on the market with enough power and some of them have brushless DC library files for easier programming.
