Re: Prius Gen 3 Inverter Logic Board Support Thread

All very good questions Matt. Guess what though? I'm not answering them. [...] Someone else can take the time and effort. I don't have much of either left in me. Not sure if you're upset with me, but, we're on the same page. In the past a few people said I should just contact you directly to get an...

Re: Prius Gen 3 Inverter Logic Board Support Thread

Well, I'm kind of stuck on my Gen2 board. I don't know what the problem is and I can't figure out what to do or ask to make it work. Also, it looks like the through-hole/Blue Pill boards on the Gen2 aren't really going to see future development with how cheap the new SMD boards will be (no cheaper t...

Re: Prius Gen3 Inverter Hacking

I have setup a seperate thread for the opensource logic board. Let's keep this focused on hacking the inverters / reverse engineering and figuring out the control signals for the oem board. You've still linked here from your webshop, not to the new thread. https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.p...

Re: HOWTO: Flashing with ST-Link v2

This here analogy is a bit exaggerated. Maybe more like you would replace an engine... :D. I guess. My point was that, for people who'd come across the issue and were hoping to find a solution or to fix that part, that the solution ended up being "It means it's broken. Throw it away and buy a ...

So, just to summarize the last two pages, Damian.Io's problem was: An error that said: "can't connect to target" in ST-Link software. Which later said: "Can not read memory! Disable Read Out Protection and retry" in ST-Link Software And after being suspicious about the ST-LINK do...

Re: HOWTO: Flashing ESP8266

Damien definitely got it working with the Olimex MOD 8266 and his Blue Pill board. He has videos of it in the Prius Gen 2 thread. But I think you said you can't get it working with either the D1 or the Olimex?

I wish I was more help, but, most of this is still greek to me.

In my opinion "Blue-Pill" is a bad idea. Mmm.. possibly yes. But, regardless of that, this has worked, and the long-term viability doesn't explain why this isn't working for me. Even if it's a poor choice, I should still be able to make it work. do you really want to put safety and reliab...

Re: HOWTO: Flashing ESP8266

No, i mean that when you set out to program ESP in Arduino you have to set every parameter like in the pic! If you have a memory set differenty or some IP config you may get different results. I think we're saying the same thing. I disconnected the WeMos, changed the settings in the tools menu to m...

Re: 1970 Opel GT - Forklift ACIM - Project Log & Inverter Build

In Wifi interface you can still use command line to calibrate current sensors. I don't have current sensors. I might have an ammeter with a shunt, but, nothing for the inverter. Could I get some from a Prius or are there some inside the Inverter already? Can I skip these? There is a procedure on ho...
