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%.

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...

*checks*

V1.1

Whelp, nevermind I guess.

Plugging in a kettle or something would also work.

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...

https://www.dynapar.com/technology/encoder_basics/quadrature_encoder/ That was a great link, it was explained the right way for me to understand. Ok, then your best bet would be to put a wheel (a handle) to the shaft and count LED pulses from channel A for one revolution. If there are 64 pulses the...

Turn off auto refresh, then refresh manually?

Can you please attach pictures directly to your post (attachment in Full Editor). When I click these imgur ones I only see a blank page plus they tend to vanish. I don't know what's been up with IMGUR lately, or maybe it's the phpBB plugin to display them. It's adding some # code after the url. Del...

VW MK1 Rabbit Electric Throttle Install The first part of this video is solid gold. I hadn't considered that you didn't just pick a bunch of pedals, you chose ones that were all different. Maybe even on purpose! I'm going to try to get around to adding that info to the wiki somewhere, I think a lot...

Oh? I obviously need to update my Wemos then.

I HATE those slide on cage nuts. Hello ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to design a device that combines the frailty of sheet metal with the frustrations of loose hardware, we introduce... slide on cage nuts. They'll be just like captive nuts, but they'll break and strip all the goddamn time and then...

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?) To confirm, the blue pill has the red and green LEDs, yes. And you do get a heartbeat flashing, yes. ... Also, blind assumptions, but I wouldn't go ...

Electric VW Rabbit First Wheel Spin Fuck yeah! WOOOOO! We're now tied. If you ignore that my inverter isn't mounted and I don't have a battery pack, or a windshield, or doors, or that mine has never run outside of manual mode and never with the pedal, then it's a tie! I might still be ahead of you ...

there is a lot of cool sh!et in this thread and the humor is on point ! Thanks. The thread on the DIY EC forums and OpelGT forums have at least 10x as much content and pics. I try to keep this one about electronics, and I just don't make that much progress. I've got probably 20x as many posts on th...

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.

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...

A bead roller?

Pffft. Man I thought you were one of us. That was a job for a ball peen and a 2x4 with a groove cut into it.

Go back to your ivory tower with the other professors and chortle about caviar prices and crystal sculptures.

this reminds me of... Place I used to volunteer, had equipment gradually added to one of the bays. Eventually someone wondered, I can't see an outlet, where is all of this stuff even plugged into? And then did a roughly geographically correct layout sketch spanning 600 square feet of shop space. ht...

IIRC Damien hates programming anyway.

As with any troubleshooting challenge... Information is ammunition. Which board is Damien's board? The Gen 3 brain swap or the Zombieverter?
