Electronics Update

Checked all of the wiring today and a lot of things look good. However, two problems showed up.

1. Turns out I misinterpreted the manual (or, more likely, the manual was incorrect), but the controller will not accept a 0-5V throttle without being reconfigured. I had mentioned in a previous post that I couldn't get configuration to work. Fortunately, I had a 0-10k pot on hand to test, and things seem okay. Unfortunately, I have to buy a 0-5k throttle.

2. I'm not getting the proper voltages at the motor leads. My assumption now is that I messed up wiring the H-Bridge, but I will do further testing next week.

Cable management is for posers

Wiring is done! At least the first round of it. I still need to double check that all of the connections are correct. After that I will hook the motor leads up to a multimeter and test using a PSU.

I replaced the throttle pedal with one known to work with my controller. It still needs to be mounted, but the wiring is identical, so it was just plug and play from that perspective. It, unfortunately, feels a quite a bit cheaper than the VW accelerator I was originally planning to use.
