.... While I'm waiting for the next software update I've been getting on with .......... Did you mention something about a software update in pipeline ? Was discussing your savage throttle to a friend, at local ev mod and build group, and seemed that a rate of change factor or some other accelerato...

Yes, understood, no load and smoother control that I have is not easy, as we are torque requesting , your twitchy control, would be harder.
I wonder how difficult to progm to go temporarily to speed control, I.e. using rpm as feedback?
Like a marine set up could have. just thinking out loud.

Re the 300h usage, yes you have shown it has great performance promise.. Thanks for the drive you have put in, following a last years statement that seems someone needed to do it...😀 If you are able to measure any rpm to Amps drawn with wheels of the ground, would still be interested for comparison ...

[quote=andybpowell post_id=69807 time= the extremely harsh power delivery makes it hard to drive safely and will tear out my bushes some of the updates in the Zombie pipeline should relieve or hopefully fix this issue so I'm doing the jobs I put off while evaluating the feasibility of the 300h which...

Re: State of Rex hacking? Contemplating putting a Leaf motor in the empty engine space of the Test Bmwagon. And use MG1 to rotate the splines shaft at up to the desired say 12kw, This would check out the Thunderstruck, Leaf inverter , and Leaf motor and its regen operation, to see if the present ano...

Sorry to hear of your Oops accident.. Bother..

Great work, has put my attempted use of the Prius zvw30 inverter with the L210 sadley to rest... To be replaced with the 300h inverter, and have ordered a Zombie, to follow the path you have blazed... Again well done and thanks.. Enjoy your Zipping 3 around

Looks like hundreds, so 30 to 60mph in couple of seconds .

Helps put your earlier post in line.. about screaming and wheel spinning down the road.

One question, the time line on the bottom, is that on tenths of a second,
looks exceptional acceleration if that is so. Thanks

Yes, imagine that is a challenge.. anything approximating stable current draw , you can manage would be great, as your chart can be interpolated to suit difficult request folks like myself. Thanks.

managed to get an extra 5mph had to brake pretty hard at the end of it though I really need to get to a decent stretch of road so 70 Mph and still pulling strong 70.png :) Very Impressive, thanks for graf and graphing. Would you be able to do some stable runs at any 10mph, 20mph, 30 mph, ........et...

Yes thanks for the thoughts,
Had considered the 2 plan, leaf motor is not easy connect to present BMW engine , had a small water blast stationary motor, but figure not enough to get to the unloading limit, but would help figure out the regen not functioning.

Nice result there
Thanks for that, looks a vast improvement on the Prius Gen 3 inverter attempt, motor matching issues maybe.

Have initiated BMWagon swap to crown inverter, of matching part number, so hope to fly it soon.

Great work here, have just stumbled across your build..
For this spin up, think was a mention somewhere of changes made by forum folks.
Wondering if still using 2.05a code, or a mod to it?

Activation of brake switch, Changes to regen config settings of brake, idleregen, and turning all off, seem to have no effect, still 3.5kw or 14A on clamp meter, and it unloads. Finally some variation can be gained by retarding the resolve setting some degrees, and 7kw or 30amp on bus clamp meter ob...

I've done about 20 miles in the car today without any issues inverter temp is about 20 deg C but spikes quite rapidly during acceleration but hasn't peaked over about 33 yet and motor has reached a massive 35 deg C :lol: and I've been driving quite hard within the local speed limits (max 50) :) Nic...

That is amazing progress. Very impressive what you have shown. Thank you for sharing , I would like to be able to apply this, once I understand it better and develop some new skills to cope. At present my skills are not there.

Well done on your progress, is the only other driving if a L210 other than the Bmwagon test that I know of. Have just rcvd a gs300h or crown inverter from Japan, and to replace the Prius zvw30 inverter driving the L210 transmission.. Have 3.75 diff ratio, which i feel will be a speed limitation.. So...

Have located the relevant manuals , and so far have not found , what may be missing.
Have also now tried the V3.1 vcu, with the same result, so pointing towards something the inverter, possibly an input not satisfied.

Have ordered a Crown inverter , not sure how long the lead time is. Would be interested to know how to utilize the boost, if you could describe in a consise simple way.
Thanks

Thanks jrbe, the Thunderstruck V1.0 vcu is one of the very first releases, looking to re find the manual . Had used it before with Leaf inverter to drive a ED Smart car, which had done it's graveyard mode shutdown. Have not used the brake function, or more than mild regen, so had not seen this limit...

Water circulating system gor the Kymoco, twin cylinder now running as a single for test purposes., has been fashioned for short running.. No radiator or heat exchange yet, but coolant in pimp and block. A stumbling block has appeared...Once a clamp meter indicated 14A into the 250V battery occurs, t...

That's Great News, is this the 300h inverter?

Another step, satisfactory single cylinder test run, second cylinder Inlet blanked off. Observed power returning to the battery , brief run, as no coolant to lubricate the pump, and extract an expected 4 or 5 times waste heat portion of fuel use. Also evident is an unloading to zero amps at around 3...

Yes, I was surprised by it also, but that's the learning.

It would seem that it now is the trend in recent cycle engines, and although not necessarily required for a generator setup, I guess Bmw used what they had under their umbrella.
