    Your "Zero" is determined by the Min/Max setting's in the JRK utility.

    That wouldn't blow it up tho. You have the 12v input wires wrong way round on your pic if your colours are red for positive and black for negative

    Right input = Negative
    Left input = Positive

    If you just replace the capacitors it may still work you would have to try and see.

    I did the same with one of mine and it still working now.

    thanks for the info @SilentChill , I'm going to try replacing it.
    Do you remember the specs of the capacitor?

    470uf 35v I just used a random 470uf 24v I think .

    Just make sure you check your motomonster power input polarity before you connect it. And then check it again and then connect it up ;)

    Agree, 5v does never kill the MM or Arduino, and please @Blame73 NEVER use two red wires even if one is marked with a black tape. At least the lagging (or wiring isolation) is not as well it should be (friendly bashing ;) ). The damage is not so big, in your stead I would order more than only one sample.

    You're both right, I shouldn't do any works on Monday morning
    Putting the wires back I switched the two wires
    WP_20141214_11_47_31_Pro.jpg
    Ordered the capacitors, I'll try to fix the MotoMonster.

    Meanwhile, lucky enough, I got today the 'Chinese stuff', little money and 'just' one moth for delivery (usually it took two months).

    I have still nuked quite a few in my time from operator stupidity, (points to himself). They are not completely idiot proof.
