Leaderboard Zoomed In – J5 Minion 

...

1. Set up the Leaderboard: hook up the motor CAN connector (type TE_4-2172079-2 connector at the top of the board) to the motor controller, hook up the CAN terminator (3x2 Molex connector with resistor soldered in), and hook up the main power connector to 12V. These are the only strictly necessary connections, specific tests might require more 
2. Turn the 12V power supply on (both the motor controller and Leaderboard should be on) 
3. Turn the high-voltage power supply on (it should start around 15-20V) 
4. Slowly increase the input voltage. Stop at nominal voltage, around 96V. (Insert picture here) 
5. Tests running on the testbench need to ensure that no regen braking will take place. This is usually done by hardcoding the velocity sent to the motor as some unattainable value (say 20,000 RPM) 
6. If anything seems off, turning off the 12V power supply to the motor controller will immediately cut off power to the motor 

Debugging:

If unable to flash, or just straight buggin, run:   st-flash erase

Then reflash.
