Well done!

…. I don't fancy the idea of extra T-fittings in the lines, weight of the sensors and all the brake fluidy mess if they ever need replacing. Seems easier to install electronic switch somewhere in the linkage for brake lights.

Good call. Lost my brakes already because of the inline ...

If anybody has an idea of what else should be on the main screen please let me know. There is still some space.

Would be nice is a real programmer would work on this.

Looks awesome! I use nexion display too - but a small one.
To keep it clean, for the main screen I just display ...

Does anybody have dbc files for the CAN?
I only found the following, but it’s not comprehensive.

Anyone planning to use the VW heater MUST install it upside down that is with the power sockets at the bottom as you get mini explosions due to inner airlocks inside the heater.

Should the coolant flow be reversed then too, to enter through the physically lower port and exit via the physically ...

Anybody tried uart to LIN converters to communicate with this heater?
Example..

An HOA community is perfect for the type of people who want all the expenses, responsibilities, uncertainties and liabilities of owning a home, but who miss the restrictiveness of only being a renter!

Every HOA is staffed by people who's passion in life is being a know-it-all busybody, who've now ...

I got my hands on the same heater model for cheap as well - cheap enough for the risk of not being able to successfully reverse engineer the communication. Worst case I will open the electronics and see what I can find in there. So far I am pretty confident that it is an Eberspächer Titronic CHHV ...

There is some thing strange going on, on your final module the delta across the module is the largest. Is the cable used there properly fastened?

Thank you. I'd say the connection looks good. That was my first check.
As part of this fast charging test I was aiming for 80% SOC, so this is the ...

As I continue my fast charging tests, would you say it is expected for the most positive module to be the hottest?
All in series. 1 most negative, 14 most positive.
After charging from 53% to 73%, starting at 125A, but gradually reduced to 85A by the BMS.

I found the manufacturer of the EVGo station - the infamous ABB Terra 53 and 54, side by side.
Looks like these had issues, but resolved here.

I have LIM from 2015 and the OEM i3 charging inlet socket. So all of the wires are from the inlet to the LIM plug directly ...

I fixed the issue with the time-to-charge by dividing Full_SOCt and Bulk_SOCt by 10 before sending to LIM. This is indicated by the dbc and the comments in the Zombie code, but doesn't look like is implemented in the code itself.

//Lim command 2. Used in DC mode
uint16_t V_limit=0;
//if(lim_state ...

If you are using the "standard" BMW I3 contactors do not do this, anything above 100A for long periods will cook the contactors.

Thanks for checking. My LIM drives TE 2203194-1 contactors which have 15.3Ohm coil resistance to make LIM happy. I use these then to drive a pair of KILOVACs EV200 ...

The Tesla end of the CV axle were stuck in the motor. Normally you just have to pry them out and they come out of the motor. it took me 7 hour to get them out and I had to use a hammer intensively on them.

Not sure if you're aware there's a very inexpensive tool for removing axels. Love tools ...

Lots of different forums claim EVGo is no good - random charging fails, randomly some cars can charge while others can't. The person charging his car today told me his car would fail to charge few hours earlier, but worked this time and he finds this to be a normal practice.
Not sure what to think ...

How do you find the drive performing with dynamic idcmax/idcmin at 48ms repetition?

I tried mine last night setting idcmax dynamically per BMS and I would sometimes get the drive to studder when I'd accel.
Theories:
1. Need to increase the frequency of BMS update - currently ~600ms (default BMS)
2 ...

Went back to the EVGo today - no go. Fails on the CableTest again. Attaching logs. I saw a car successfully charging on it before me, though.
Today I added LIM contactor re-test code thinking this was the issue. I can hear contactors toggling when I initiate the re-test and they return A-OK status ...

I attempted to charge at a different network today - EVGo. Unfortunately, not successful.
Plugged in vehicle, payment authorised, but within seconds says comm failures with the vehicle.
There were 2 stations. The second one was occupied, but I saw the driver had to start his charging session twice ...

I believe this is the area that I refer to here that gets warm. Looking from the inside is that some kind of isolation monitor? Suppose to be warm?

I can see now why the inverter needs to be vacuum filled, there’s a section for the coolant that’s above the outlet port ...

if (bms.getLowCellVolt() < (settings.DischVsetpoint + settings.DisTaper))

Literally here.

Your settings:
settings.DischVsetpoint = 3200mV
settings.DisTaper = 300mV

So if your cells are below 3500mV limit discharge.

The settings for Discharge Hysterisis is for allowing discharge again when ...

Hi, there.
Could you please help me understand. I don't quite see why my discharge current gets derated. I have max discharge set to 150A, but this morning BMS derated it to 30A. I didn't capture it at 30A, but below is the screenshot showing it at 113A as it seems to be slowly rising as I'm ...

We're in business!
2 successful trials at the Electrify America CCS Type 1 using Damien's code migrated to my Teensy VCU. Slow speed for now - 5A and 20A, but proves the concept. VCU controls the LIM using BMS limits. LIM controls 2x small 15ohm contacts, which in trigger larger kilovacs.
Still a ...

What’s the difference between DC-Type1 0x4 and DC-Type1C 0x8?

Please use context both of coding and the original post. What were we trying to achieve? Hint: Type 1 DC fast charging.

What are you trying to achieve?

Yes, sorry, I'll elaborate. I attempted a DC charge at EVSE, yesterday, but was unsuccessful. Reviewing the logfile my code kept waiting in the ...

Fixed the fan controller.
Inverter temps still go high. Didn't drive much and <45mph, but was in 65C-70C.
The difference with the fan - faster temp drop when stationary. Waiting on the thermal camera to see delta, but radiator is cool to touch, while it was warm before.
Observing the temp on my ...
