Adding more capacitance to the VESC will make it worse. Also, don’t add less…
Adding more capacitance to the antispark switch or upping the resistor value would increase the turn-on time, decreasing the current spike, increasing the longevity of the parts
I use a bms and use the 6s voltage connection from the bms as the switching voltage for the SSR. Measuring with a DC ammeter measures less than 0.05 amps. Will measure again with a 4-20ma meter when I remember.
No voltage drift in the pack as yet.
I had the same Idea! thought I’d make it from wood. ditched the idea when I noticed it’s tough to pull the xt90 anti spark key out! Like your design and the use of bullets.
It’s probably smaller then most antispark footprints for fitment with connectors attached…lol just change the panel mount so it drops inside- out. Instead of outside-in like it is currently.
What is wrong with the solid state relay idea? Use the tiniest buck converter you can find to drop the voltage off your main battery to say 5 or 12v, then use any illuminated switch you want. The switch activates low voltage to the relay, the relay then switches main power to the ESC/VESC. Easy peasy.
