Re: 1970 Opel GT - Forklift ACIM - Project Log & Inverter Build
I don't post a lot of updates here ever, but, rebuilt the rear suspension and have just started rebuilding the front suspension, including paying more for all the boots, bushings, brakelines and thingamabobs than I did for both entire cars. So, that's at the most dangerous part of half-done, where t...

Re: Battery sizing and assumptions based on ICE performance
Just a sanity check, working at it backwards...
82kwh / 115 miles = 713wh/mile.
That's about double what a car gets. Which, for a van that normally only gets 19mpg (versus a slipperier car that gets 40mpg)... yep.
This is probably within 10%.

Re: Doing useful things with the Prius Gen2 buck/boost converter
So charging feature would work but not powering the dcdc converter while driving. Oh, I misunderstood. In the video you shared, you say it uses the A/C inverter to do this? I was somewhat planning on using my A/C inverter to run the A/C. Though that said, I also have the A/C off of a Gen3 which onl...

Re: Doing useful things with the Prius Gen2 buck/boost converter
With the SMT version of the Prius controller this is integrated. Good news, I also bought one of those 2nd hand from someone who went a different way. So I have both hardwares. In drive mode the "user PWM" pin runs the boost converter at a fixed rate. In charge mode the regular PWM runs i...

Just to confirm: you flashed stm32_loader.hex and stm32_sine.hex (or foc) and you get a 5 Hz blinky LED (provided the through hole board has got one?)

Re: 1984 Voltswagen Rabbit Prius Gen 3 ZOMBIE
I've heard that when joining axles the wrong way, to never cut them square. You cut them at 45 degree angles. That way if the weld seam shatters, they're still forced to spin each other, where a square cut would not.

Re: Am I to dumb for Open Inverter
Is testing these with a bridge rectifier a terrible idea? Ehn... it's certainly more challenging to the inverter circuit than it was designed for. It'll have a gigantic capacitor, but that capacitor is sized for a DC battery which has almost zero voltage change. The capacitor is a reservoir of ener...
