Quick question while wiring my board with Damian's diagram it shows power to various pins like brake, ignition, board (13) etc do these all get direct power supply from 12v or does pin 13 power them internally?
@@propsmear the accelerator and brake each have 3 wires (+5V, GND, Signal). Do NOT supply separate voltage to these, the board will supply the +5V. You need to connect them to the corresponding 3 wires on your pedals.
I had the exact same issue before. It turned out I accidentally bumped the knob on my power supply and reduced the max amps allowed. Since a 5A fuse is recommended for these boards, could it be you might just need to bump up the max amps a bit?
Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried it already. Usually the board consumes less then 2 amps. I have increased the power limit up to 2 amps and its still a problem. I want to be cautious and remove the inverter to check it separately.
You know what you were right. I tried to increase the current limit further up to 3 amps and it worked well, so I didn't increase the current limit far enough when I tried it the first time. Your comment made me rethink it, thank you very much. This saved me from opening the inverter 😅.
Nice! I'm so glad to have helped. When it happened to me, I also got very worried and thought I damaged the board somehow. After about 15 mins of checking various components and connections I figured it out and was very much relieved. Thx for all your videos! They are very insightful and I have learned a lot from them.
This is so COOL! Thanks for sharing
Thank you Daisy 😁
Eddie you are really coming into your own when making these amazing videos, more please !
Thank you you are very kind.
Sure will do more although my other viewers don't find this one that interesting 🤔
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Houston, brother. 😎😎
Oh sorry I missed that bit 😔

Yes they do get power from the 12 V supply. While ignition and brake are just switches the throttle pedal does get power from the board.

@@propsmear ignition, start, forward, and reverse are all separate +12V inputs.

I am glad you found my videos useful and thanks for your suggestion as well. That saved me a lot of time messing about with opening inverter.
lets go)
Oh yeah 😂
