Interface between components
The Big Junction Box has started out as a roughly square piece of plywood. About 25 inches by 23 inches. Lots of room to mount parts, terminals, clamps.
This is the first cut at a list of signals into and out of each of the components. This is the interface.
This list is intended to be the minimum, just the basics. Options can be added later.
I'm not sure if the 12V accessory battery should be part of the 'car' or part of the 'Electric Engine Module'. Start with the accessory as part of the 'car'.
Terminal numbers are arbitrary, beginning at A01. They are just labels. The list is terminal number, then description
Car interface to BJB
A01 Key Switch Run, 12V = run position. Use as switched power.
A02 Enable Switch, 12V = OK to run (ebrake off, slap switch OK)
A03 Throttle Position, 0 - 5V
A04 12V, Power, non-switched
A05 0 V, Ground

Reason: Missed a big detail - the MOTOR!
