I have the motor mounted in the OEM position ( all be it running reversed ) and have had no leaks in just shy of 2000 miles.

Hello ev8! I’m pretty sure I could make any length work - I’m adding a 6th module to a 5 module pack so just need one extra lead - unfortunately the only battery connector that’s currently not used got damaged in transit so I’ll be looking for a replacement myself at some point!

Hi - as per the title - does anyone have an internal bmw hybrid battery link cable for sale? I’m looking to add a 6th module to my pack and need an extra cable? Cheers, pete.

Hi, has anyone successfully used these with rapid charging of any sort? Especially without any form of cooling?

Many thanks for that! I’ll be watching the development of your v2 board with interest!

Im looking to use an output from the dash controller to control a couple of relays that will break the connections between the charge port and the vcu. This might be a daft question but what are the MTR pins for? Also are the HC out pins used at all? i cant find anything in the code that refers to e...

Hm... you could readback the heater CAN temp byte4 and run the pump when temp is higher than X. It would require a transistor and a relay, but you would have a circulation system independant of heat source. I wanted to built similar heating myself. On one side Outlander heater run by a DUE uC and o...

Interesting development today - the heater wouldnt start until the temperature got above -1 degrees C!

It’s awesome and great work! I’d like to add a safety delay to switching off the water pump until the temp is back down to say 30 degrees C! Probably have to make it permantly live tho to ensure it runs even when the ignition is switched off. Either that or just get a delayed relay!

Got it working nicely now! Love the display output aswell - very useful!

Is it worth adding a timer to allow the heater coolant pump to run for a couple of minutes after the heater has been turned off? Or is the heater unit robust enough not to worry about?

Scratch that last question - i figured out that my code was still wrong! This is the code that i am using now: #include <mcp_can.h> #include <SPI.h> #include <TaskScheduler.h> #include <Wire.h> #include <Adafruit_GFX.h> #include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h> #define SCREEN_WIDTH 128 // OLED display width, in...

Should i be receiving water temperature if HV is not connected? At the moment i just get "No temperature Recieved" - thats with the heater connected up on the bench and no water in it?

That’s mega thank you!

The library has been updated so it no longer uses getCanId. This is now in the readMsgBuf() function. The examples show what needs to change. Line 60 also needs to change to this. while (CAN_OK != CAN.begin(MCP_ANY, CAN_500KBPS, MCP_8MHZ)) Any chance you could give me a pointer as to which bits nee...

Thanks very much! - any reason for switching to raspberry pi?

Please could you tell me which MCP library your using ? Im struggling to get this to compile?

I’ve been playing with the dash control pcb and code to give us something more in keeping with the original Mini Speedo - @Tom91 helped with the code changes to suit his VCU but the PCB is still as @aot93 designed. I’m on my 3rd set of prototypes to mount the displays and stepper motor and it’s near...

On the dash controller - what’s the need for connecting to the tiny 3v3 pad under the teensy? Does this just boost the strength of the 3v3 signal?

Hi, I’m looking to replace a damaged bmw battery box connector - does anyone have one for sale? Cheers, Pete.

1 would definitely be useful! How much for one posted to Derbyshire? Cheers, pete.

Wanted - BMW S-Box out of a bmw hybrid battery. Has anyone got one lying around that they don’t use or need? Cheers, pete.

Thank you sooooo much!!! I owe you a pint! I would never have even considered that to be an issue - I’ve attached the HV cable to the motor but left it hanging for now and the terminals were touching! What a relief it’s super smooth now!

I’m actually wondering if this is normal and in order to “tow” or “roll” the vehicle the motor should be energised and the controls in neutral? Would this have an effect?
