That point where you're panting and struggling and cramping and sore and need a break, and you haven't even done anything other than try to reach where the work should be happening.



Fun times I had in the Mini and 190, too. Upside down on the seat with knees left and right of the headrest ...

Should I find a long clear road and see how fast it goes and log this?

For science? I'd say solve the brick wall issue first, though.

Wemos? https://www.wemos.cc/en/latest/s3/s3_mini.html

Play it safe with a L210, plenty of other stuff to tinker with.

So after last year's success (and overwhelmingly positive feedback - see https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6355), I have applied for us again and am 99.8% certain we'll get in.

Some changes (TBD):
no slide show, it was useful for the first 10 minutes until we got swarmed
more cars ...

Repower it with OEM modules, e.g from a PHEV: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Batteries#OEM_modules. Maybe some of your existing cells/blocks can be used for home solar?

I'm curious if it got better with 2.30A?

An Posted to you now. Only basic ESP Home firmware on it.

I have a spare one here in Ireland, do you want it now?

You can get a similar package with a little less power with the Outlander RDU: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Mitsubish ... Drive_Unit

Awesome, thanks for updating the Wiki as well @larsrengersen!

Wow, looks amazing, especially the battery placement!

Done, have put in https://openinverter.org/wiki/MG_PTC_Ca ... IN_Control as a start.
@Alibro, do you want to attach your log?

Also in my general noob understanding of CAN and reading a note about ISO 11898-2 wakeup it takes two CAN bus packets to wake this transceiver up? I'm interested in waking up a system based on the 0x679 packet sent by the Leaf OBC when a charger is plugged in. Would this work for that?

Brilliant video, appreciate the "deep dive". Could you maybe add some subtitles/closed captions for the segment without audio? It felt important, at least at the time. Or add something to the description instead if that's easier?

Congrats Damien! Great selection of features and awesome to see the product evolving.

You continue to be an inspiration for us all

Hi Mark, is there any progress on this - physical or mental?

the current sensors can take a bit over 300A: https://endless-sphere.com/sphere/threa ... st-1764979

Are you using PlatformIO yet? Might save you some of the pain in the future.

-> a candidate to keep the original ECU and replicate engine sensor readings to keep it happy?

We have extended on the original list a bit: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Bosch_iBooster, BTW the Zoe needs a CAN connection.

The Dacia Spring one that was recently discussed maybe and the newer BMW PHEV packs have nearly doubled the capacity in very similar form factor.

That's a ton of info, can you add it to the Wiki in this category: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Category: ... on_sensors? That looks like a part that won't go obsolete anytime soon

Cool, nice packaging, never thought of stacking at an angle - probably because the hub motor makes that bit easier.
Have you selected a motor yet? On Damien's discord Jamie (@bigpie) posted a picture of the Outlander _front_ motor (which might be small enough) to stay in the OI ecosystem ...
