created + cleaned up MSXV Electrical Mockup Connections google sheet
Hardware Board Enclosures review
harnessing sheaths
combine common wires (i.e. GND) and splice them OR keep each wire separate but in common “casings”
FRONT ENCLOSURE TO REAR/BATTERY/CANOPY
run from sides following chassis tubes
REAR/BATTERY TO CANOPY
wiring needs to not restrict opening of canopy
Proposed path: Rear → Front → Rear (on side of canopy) → canopy
REAR/BATTERY TO TAIL
most direct path
TO-DO:
work on PD/BMS portion of MSXV Elec Connections Google Sheet
remember to spec out wire gauges + length estimations!
