The lights flash rapidly only when throttle or current is out of the expected range. The control board gate driver output should not be connected to anything just yet. I'm not an RTD Explorer expert, so I can't really help there, but you can measure the resistance of your 5k 2 wire pot. Zero throttle should be close to 0 ohms. Full throttle should be close to 5k Ohms. Now, one reason the current sensor could not be working is if the 4 wires that go to the sensor aren't wired in the right order to the control board. Could you guys take a picture of the 4 current sensor wires connected to the control board, and a picture of the 4 wires to the current sensor?
