Re: V1 Board Enova Encoder error

Re: Prius Gen2 adapter board development thread

Thanks for corrections. MG2 = MIVA and MIVB What I am trying to understand, is the PWM signals. They exit the Inverter and are sent to the V3 board. The inputs cannot be reveived in their original voltages (12v), hence the ULN2003 to convert to 3.3v? V3 board sends PWM signals to inverter but they ...

Re: Sub-station 1

Fitted a new encoder to my enova motor today. Have had some problem with dust blocking either the slots in the encoder disk or the sensor itself. Have blown it out with compressed air to some success previously but two weeks ago it didn't clear the problem anymore. I will probably go with aber333's ...

Re: 08 Lexus GS450H swap - Lexi Clone

The schematic's i found indicate a fuse in/or around the service pluggdisconnect.. Have never touched a lexus my self, but my prius, gen 0 has it inside the service plug disconnect socket on the battery pack if i remember correctly.

Re: Mainboard V3 FAQ

" using basic dc-dc converter?"
In this case i think a simple resistor divider is the way to go, it gives you a linear scaling of the voltage.

Re: GS450h Buck/Boost Converter control

As JaniK brought solar panels up, I'll hijack the thread for one question that dosn't (yet) seem worthy of a full thread: I've been considering solar panels for my conversion (it's a van, can fit multiple square meters), but I'm concerned about electrical isolation. It feels totally wrong to have s...

Re: Series/Parallel cooling loops

I am interested in your reservoir setup, there are a few things which confuse me. How do you bleed the system without water actively passing through the reservoir? How do you release trapped air? There is a bleed vent on the top connection of the heater core, but yea, I have had to bleed it a coupl...

Re: Tesla Large Drive Unit Support Thread

This reminds me about a similar problem i had on my Enova controller board (different hardware i know, but same designer). The signals from the current sensors/opamp were so high that the IL1,IL2 lines from the mcu hit their maximum of ≈3,3v well before actual motor current reached it's maximum. My ...

More dumb beginner questions. Current roadblocks: 1 - Can't figure out what parts to buy to populate the Prius board.

Re: Sub-station 1

I bought Sub-station 1 in February in Arvidsjaur, indeed from Blocket, it's a 09.
Sub-station 2 is not my own, i'm only helping out with the conversion but it's a 09.
They pop up everywhere, ≈1000€ some times half of that.
It's mostly 2008 and 2009 some 2010, and rumour says even 2011. All diesel.
