Re: Electronics Board & Design
Sorry, no photos so far, but 1533 has been inspired by 111's designs, particularly in keeping wiring to the drive motors minimized. Our twist on it will be to split into two boards - the primary board has the 120A breaker, terminal block, maxi-block, and drive motor Victors, the secondary board has all the rest. The primary board gets mounted low and close to the battery and drive motors (where it makes the most sense) and the secondary board up a little higher, where the RC and related stuff is easier to get to...keeping a clear path to the 120A breaker, naturally. We're toying with the idea of custom-made (or maybe just shortened) PWM cables to tidy things up as well.
