That doesn't look like networking. That looks like Artur doing the work for you while you hold the camera and distract him!

just to confirm. The IC6 is the one circled on the picture attached.

Ehn, don't take it from me, but the label says IC6, so, sounds good.

If yes. Please indicate for me pins 4,5 and 6.

I had a feeling when Johannes gave that instruction that it wasn't foolproof enough.

Googling for the ...

hope to setup a second set of transmission/inverter/battery pack

Ugh. Saw that peanut butter slop and I immediately noped out.

There have been days when I went out early, before it defrosted, 'cause, hell naw, laying in cold muck.

Some days I've ripped a seat apart or stolen a hood and layed it ...

Voti - Troubleshooting, especially over text, is really difficult.

When I was giving you advice, I understood a small portion of how things are supposed to work, and was just taking my best guess. So if you can manage to follow that procedure, but also want to try your own extra ideas to it ...

I believe on the Gen 3s the weight was 289 lbs and 40lbs for the inverter. Just for comparison's sake.

EDIT: Apparently it was saved by someone else, according to a FB group.

Was hoping there was an update on it.

Well, hurray!

Any news on who? Tell 'em to show up here so we can share notes.

There's a 3rd one being auctioned off/given away in a contest to promote a guy's new auction website ...

What about "opmode"?. Johannes said I should Verify that opmode reads ManualRun. Where do I find this one?

I've never heard of that one.

*googles*


https://openinverter.org/wiki/Parameters

Okay, search for it there. It's not a parameter, it's a spot value (a measurement of something that the ...

Please guide as to what I should do next because at this stage I'm confused


There is a place in the openinverter interface, near the top, to type in manual commands (and then hit enter). This is an alternative way to changing parameters or starting and stopping the inverter.

What Johannes is ...

At this point in my diagnosis, I think people had me check the input of the actual power transistors themselves (the output of the MCU), to see if they were firing. But, I'm not familiar enough with Johannes' design to do that. And that would be odd.

One of the only things I can think of is that ...

The good news is that there probably aren't many improvements made?

I dunno that there's been much change in the Gen3 board in the last, oh, 5 years.

Documentation is a real challenge for the community, for a variety of reasons. We basically have an oral history, very little is ever actually written down.

Damien hasn't participated on the forums in a couple years ...

I'd get a small trailer for the Prius and run it as is. It's just hardware store runs.

Any vehicle will be equivalent. Which one you choose should be the one you're most excited to work on.

Gen 2 Prius is okay, but a bit wimpy with the current setup and Johannes probably won't develop it further ...

So think the strategy is to make it to prove it’s worth a channel investing in it.

That's a tough sell, as a charity. :/

Publicize the risk, privatize the benefits.

That said, he's asking for very little for a TV production.

But THAT said, he's asking for an outrageous amount for what people ...

still just using this single Emporia $12 dollar smart plug to monitor my system, I dig it because being a dinosaur you can still use a computer to monitor it, other plugs only offer apps for your phone

I basically ignore all integrated devices because it's always some random dogshit ...

On one hand it sucks that we have not found the origin of your problems.

On the other hand, we're running out of things that could be causing it, so, I mean, that's nice :P

I did get around to confirming that the exact parameters I exported to you resulted in my motor spinning (had to give it some ...

It 100% will not work if you have not connected MSDN to 12V+.

Also there's MFIV on pin 27 (coincidentally, on both boards). That's Motor Inverter Fail, it has to be connected properly or it won't work.

I don't think that one is on the procedure, but it's in the diagram.

Zapheap? That's some fantastic branding.

The success of this will depend on how well it's marketed. It's an odd thing to crowdfund, because you're not getting anything out of it.

I hope it's successful. I could watch that kind of content all day long and it's been 20 years since anyone's done it.

It sure is discouraging to see:

1 - How large and monolithic these packs are, and

2 - All that foam directly sprayed onto them.

Basically makes them uselessly unsalvageable

So I was at a meet this past weekend and someone mentioned there's one of these sitting outside a junkyard near me in NC.

My EV conversion was a "quick summer project" 6 years ago. Still not driving. I sympathize.

I heard you mentioning logging in. Where do I log in for me to get this list of parameters that the OI will pull up a list of these, so I can be sure also if the OI controller is also powered correctly??

Erm, just logged into the wifi that lets you pull up the OI webpage.

The parameters are on ...

To be honest after initial excitement the Gen2 controller became a bit of a shelve warmer

Longer discussion for another day, but, partial solutions with moderate documentation never become a viable choice for an amateur.
