Re: MG F - Outlander Rear differential with Prius Gen 2 Inverter.

Is the rear inverter from the same vehicle as the motor? Or do you have to match them?

Re: Smart Roadster

Thanks for the CAN "blogging" on ABS and ESP there, that's brilliant! Love the round display, maybe I'll put it on the bike to replace the temp gauge... The Chademo option sounds neat, you could 3D print the connector: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:121581. I think Ben Nelson did it for...

Re: Can you use Hall sensors instead of a resolver?

Cheers, I read up on it and Amberwolf's thread looks promising - pairing it with an IMA inverter. I might give the Lebowski another go - blew up DC-DC and subsequently power stage while trying to get more power out of a pair of C80800s :D You wouldn't have a known good SMD board to sell off?

Re: Can you use Hall sensors instead of a resolver?

There are more options for inverter besides OI. There is Lebowski which runs natural on UVW and there is VESC... But i am sure you could introduce RLS sensor with sin cos functionality. All you need to do is setup a mount for magnet and sensing plate. Arber, forgive my ignorance, but how would you ...

Re: Smart Roadster

Lithium 12V battery? Might as well throw the lead out...
Lighter wheels? probably difficult to get, though.
Back to the Outlander drivetrain -gearbox weight +axle fabrication

Best of luck either way!

Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

I think the Outlander is just voltage limited because of space - the components are properly rated for 96s according to Arber:

Re: How to charge HV batteries off car?

If you have to buy, I can recommend Meanwell LED power supplies. They come in various voltages and power levels and are current and voltage adjustable. I run a pair of waterproof HLGs to charge my bike overnight without issues (after switching to waterproof...).

Re: Hall Sensors instead of Resolver/Encoder possible?

Thanks Johannes!
So a hardware mod on top of the SW - that's definitely beyond my skills.
I think it would be easier to put a resolver in the hub motor itself then. I'll park it for now.

Hi folks, I'm upping the voltage in my Suzuki in the next few weeks and have contemplated getting started in this "ecosystem" to learn about implementing CAN etc. for an eventual car conversion. So, my stupid question is thus if a Prius Gen 3 V1c board can use standard hub motor Hall senso...

Re: Subaru Impreza 96 - AWD with 2 Outlander rear motors

Imprezzive :) there's no going back now.

Is it just the angle of the picture or could it be turned "backwards" (Neigung) around say the motor's axle to improve clearance/overall height?
Even it it means additional fabrication on the vertical face of the subframe to take the original mounts?
