If your looking to turn on the Regenerative braking and control it with a potentiometer while you're driving
Brake pot
J1-18 Pot low
J1-17 Pot wiper
You will need a switch to disable the motor throttle.
Depending on throttle type the switch will disconnect J1-16 from the throttle wiper and short it to either j1-15 or j1-18
( Short to J1-15 if it is a 5k-0 , Short to j1-18 if it is 0-5k )
You will need to set "Brake Pedal Enable" to "On" in the control interface
You will need to set "Brake Type" to "3"
You will need to set "VCL Brake Enable" to "Off"
You will need to set "Regen Current Limit" .....this one you'll have to figure out yourself , if you set it too high your rear tires will grind away and the controller will get very hot.
You will need to disable all functions associated with "holding position".
The down side to this is:
1. it disables regen via throttle mapping ( VCL ),it will no longer work automatically.
the Potentiometer will be the only method of controlling regenerative braking.
2. You will need to set the brake potentiometer to zero when enabling the drive motor.
This can be done by twisting the know or using a different set of terminals on the same switch you used to disable the throttle.
You do not want to be moving when "Switching modes"
And There's a good chance I'm forgetting a few settings in the interface
So I recommend reading this

Whats going to take time is fine tuning the controller.
