Controls Connectors & Wire Harnessing
General
This page is meant to detail all of the connectors needed for the controls system to run, both on our test bench or in the car (production). Noted below for each harness are the relevant connectors as well as the pin-to-pin connections.

1 two-position switch harness
1 six-position switch harness
Accelerator pedal harness
Brake pedal button harness
Lights:
2 daytime running light harnesses

CarCAN Harness
Note: we have two CarCAN connectors on our board, although Controls is set up as a endpoint of the CAN bus so there will likely be a terminating resistor on one of the connectors. For the test harness, it would still be nice to have two CarCAN harnesses in case we are set up in between two other nodes.

Pedal Test Harness (Simboard)
Note: We have yet to figure out production harnessing yet. For now, Simboard harnesses are documented. We require one harness for the brake pedal and one for the accelerator pedal.
