Re: High voltage LFP storage with Flying ADC BMS

96 cells are now in. To my surprise still no burnt BMSes, despite even 2.1 hardware being in there.

Using a 16A breaker for cable protection and grounded the shelve to trip the GFCI when there's a problem.

Cables and bus bars are way oversized as I'm running max 15A here.

Re: Flying ADC 16 channel BMS 96S test

Well the procedure hasn't changed, you have to check the diode inside the FETs with a multimeter in diode mode.
Q1 and Q5 (BSS123) are likely culprits so check them first. Also Q52 and Q39 (ST1005SRG)

The good thing about the power on self test is that no other FETs are destroyed in a chain ...

High voltage LFP storage with Flying ADC BMS

I still have around 150 LFP cells from Polo lying around and to my surprise many of them still hold some charge. I bought them 2010 and they were grossly overcharged once. So the plan is to hook them all up in series and keep swapping cells until only the good ones are left.

I will probably end up ...

I also think I have found the current limit message in 0x29C, the last two bytes.
The one that reads 0x57? So 87 decimal. Does it charge with 8.7A right now?
Or 0x5700 22272 mA?

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle

Yeah I'd consider the open loop test sort of good enough. Would be nice to see it spinning but I think you can skip ahead to FOC software now and see if you get it spinning when following our video.
The the open loop test the resolver mustn't be connected, so that's not the issue.

Based on that I still vote for intermittent connection problem, caused by moisture or wear.

Re: Flying ADC BMS - incorrect voltage readings and two not starting up

Indeed the "incorrect voltage readings" are differently incorrect than discussed in said thread. They essentially read 0. Have you checked whether the cell voltages make it to the board at all in those positions? Doesn't look like failed FETs.

The boards that don't power up must have a broken 5V ...

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle

There is no parameter focctrl. Where did you read about that`?
At this stage motor feedback is irrelevant. Can you scope the phase output? Probe ground on HV-, probe tip on L1, L2, L3. Are you getting the PWM with varying duty cycle there?

Re: New Tesla LDU fault - inconsistent failure to start

Does "won't start" mean it faults out with OVERCURRENT? If so it would be worthwhile checking the 7 fault signals

Maybe even go as far as soldering wires to them and scope if they look fine statically?

I'm inclined to say never change a running system. The firmware doesn't add a new feature.
On the other hand it adds another verification point if you do install it.

The muxshort error that some users are experiencing is mainly caused by cascading multiple BMS units together. That's why I’m exploring the option of running the BMSes independently without interconnecting them.

If I’m not interconnecting the BMSes, does that mean I need to connect all 6 BMS boards to the same current sensor to keep them alive and synchronized?

No, the current sensor must be connected to the first board and transmits its value to the other ones via CAN
