Re: [Rookie] How to set up electrical the best way?
The rockwell light is so that it is easy to tell your robot is working, it needs to go where it is easly visible. Your main circuit breaker should go where it is easy to get too. R29 lists the wire for the battery, R44 lists the wire gauges for each circuit. In general you should try to minimize the length of the cable, based on the current carry capacity. That is to say your PDB and battery should be very close together and your signal wire can be longer with out causing problems.
