Does this still apply when I want to utilise that specific BMSās discharge functionality?
The previous diagram seems to go against the recommendations seen in that diagram, but Iāll admit I might just be confused.
The AntiSpark switch present on the Raptor also seems to be placed in between VESC and battery, so Iām confused why the fuse would be on the charging side and not the discharging side.
No, that diagram is for bypass. To use it in discharge fashion, put the ESC on the āLights/accessoriesā circuit and use big wire.
That BMS doesnāt look like it has a discharge capability though, it only has a C- and no P-

Before i forget. If you get prevented from commenting any further, do not worry this is just the systems āspam protectionā. Itāll ease off after a while (24hrs? Not sure) If all goes well and the interaction has been according to what the system deems normal then youāll have no restrictions.

Just a quick noteā¦it would be four times the heating since the current in each FET would double.

You asked āIs this what it aims to remedy?ā
and my answer was āNoā, but with more words. You did specifically ask about how itās used.
It aims to remedy a totally different and unrelated problem.
If you want I can go back to monosyllable answers to your questions in the future, since you seem to have less of a tendency to be a dick in response to those.

Aside from the below video which is not ideal for clearly explaning a step-by-step process, are there any good instructionals on how to flash a BLE from a VESC-based controller?
I followed the āhard wayā instructions here for a few 51822 modules and it worked well. Same process on the 52840 just different firmware.

looks like your hall sensors and temp sensor arenāt connected
There are bigger issues than that.
Can you check your motor phase wire connections and/or send photos of them?

does anyone know a thread about how to pack/mount/prepare an eMTB top box?
Iām stuck at the ābattery in a pelican caseā stage ind idk how to proceed.
yeah Iāve searched but I couldnāt find a thread about it.

I donāt think thereās a dedicated thread for packing/mounting top boxes but these should be somewhat helpful. Iād also look at some other build threads w top boxes and get some inspiration there.

This one has a bunch of photos but not specifically about mounting to deck.
My Space Invader build thread has good steps listed in the first post.

hmm, looks like most of these have the ESC on the rear. as I donāt have a good small enclosure to do that and some space in my battery box I was gonna shove all the electronics in the pelican case and just have phase wires coming out.
You could drill an extra hole through your deck to route the wires underneath it to go from the ESC to the motors. That way you donāt need to worry about standing on them and being able to feel them on your feet.
Or route in some channels into the top of the deck and put the wires under the grip tape, but then youād be removing more material from the deck which might cause issues depending on the deck.
I thought about this, but wouldnāt this defeat the purpose of to-mounting for clearance? orā¦ I could print some wire covers for the underside that would be a thing.
I still donāt know the best way to adhere this pelican case to the plank.
this is another good thought, APEX-style, itās one of those cheap AliExpress MTB decks with the lion graphic. just wanna get it rolling for now and upgrade it later.
How large are your wires? If you arrange them to lie flat on the deck youād only be adding an extra 1-2cm max under the deck. If youāre doing some super heavy duty off-roading on rocks then you might want to add something over the wires to protect them. Easiest option would be add some epoxy on top of them so they canāt get cut by rocks.
Nicest looking option would be some form of metal shield but it would take up more space and I donāt know of anything you can just outright buy that would work.
I donāt have a mountain board set-up but I would just use some good sized bolts to attach it to the deck. You could get some galvanized steel wood ties to use on the underside to prevent the bolts from sinking into the wood. Theyāre kind of ugly but theyāre cheap at any big box hardware store.
literally the main purpose of this build, is to take it into the rocky mountains and ride trails that the SUV struggles on. Sharp Rocks are as common as the bugs up there.
Pg21 cable gland fits sensor wires and motor wires for 2 motors just fyi
