Re: pic: 1889's Electrical Module
We did something like that for Triple Play... it was absolutely atrocious. The graduated student whose brainchild it was is now referred to as sadistic, among other things :p (its easy to blame things upon people who are no longer here)
Anyhow, we found that its now a pain in the rear to trace wires and PWM cables. Makes it very difficult to change or alter anything too.... Best of luck, though! |

tracing wires isn't so hard when you have them labeled ;-)
996 may very well attempt something similar to this, it definitely makes port access to the brain much easier (no bending of serial cables). once those extra cables get cleaned/grouped up a little, it should be a pretty awesome setup. |

Are you actually trying to show this off? It looks like my dinner. (spaghetti)

I think it's pretty. I like it, as long as you're confident that you won't have to replace a wire or one of the 40A breakers later on. |

Tytus, do you think you could share a screenshot of the CAD file which shows how components are "sandwiched" between the two plates? This photo doesn't really do it justice. |

One of the advantages of having such a compact electrical system is that it allows you to have short wires and hence less voltage drop from battery to motors.
If I were you I'd take advantage of this compact design and rewire everything and cut all the wires shorter. |

Tytus, if you dont clean that up, I will have to come over and fix it.

Make sure there's some breathing room, you dont any victors burning up, and ya, if you need to have it cleaned up, i'll drive all the way from Melbourne Florida to clean it. :D

I have to say, it seems like a bad plan to me, there's no reason for that kind of wire length and closing the system up like that makes it difficult to work with the lower levels, as far as I can see anyways. Also, it just seems like asking for trouble to leave Victors cramped in like that, in that rats nest of wires, with little ventilation. Also I shudder to think what kind of electrical noise is being rained on the PWM cables you're going to have to install.
Honestly, and no offense, this doesn't seem all that impressive, or even all that compact, or modular given the high probability of tangles. Quote:
I'm sorry if I seem rude, but I just don't think this is a very effective solution. |
