The power distribution diagram shows that the 3 breaker panels (one maxi and 2 others) have separate positive wires to the power distribution block. however, the negative terminal from the second breaker panel goes to teh first breaker panel and then into the power distribution block. isn't that a violation of the rule that "All circuit breaker distribution panels must be connected directly to the power

Re: pic: removable electronics

Yes, we changed the board by adding another red block to the distribution block and another 6awg wire. I am flattered that you guys are using our board as a template

I always wanted to clean up the electronics to aid in diagnosing and troubleshooting problems, but what I found is that when you have a clean electronics board, you have much fewer (if any) problems! It solves the problems instead of making them easier to deal with

Good eye! This would seem like a violation to me, but maybe the intent of the rule is only for positive connections? But that seems like a very mixed-message. Ultimately positive and negative routes go through one wire at the battery, and if done right the intermediate connections can be as good as the yellow bridge connections on the power distribution block. Oh well, I still do understand the purpose of the rule though :/

Thanks for posting your picture!
We hope to be able to be of help to you sometime to return the favor. Thanks! My students loved your board.
