Re: The Greg's Grid Tie Solar Project

Time to prioritize: let them aim for different targets. So one would allow, say -100W into the grid and the other aims for 0W

Re: Tesla LDU and incorrect UDC reading problem

Does the voltage drop (close) to 0 when not allowing HV into the inverter?
186V sounds suspiciously like the floating value when Vsense is not connected to the OI board

Just a guess really: sounds like moisture either on the Vsense electronics or the connector or the logic board

Re: [DRIVING] VW Touran powered by Nissan Leaf [FINISHED]

Got a chance to test my cooling scoops yesterday on a 350 km trip. Outside temp was 7°C so quite favorable. I drove 250 km then charged from 25 to 65% with 200A. Battery heated up to 44.5°C. I opened the scoops and after 50 km the battery had cooled down to 37°C. Then it started raining so I closed ...

I'd start by dropping fslipmax to 2 or 1.5 Hz and fslipmin to 1.5 Hz as well. Should already get you the reduction.

Re: OI -> Web Interface Strings

No.
You'd have to hack up a custom json command and put your string in the "value" field, like is done with serialnumber. That will only work over UART though, not CAN, as the latter only downloads the json once.
Might be better to use integer values, then introduce special handling to the web ...

Re: Multiple OI Boards Communication

In plain CAN there are no main/sub hierarchies. Some call it a real time data base, as data can be put on there by any node and read by any node.

So if you want OI CCS to receive a current setpoint from OI VCU you have to make sure the VCU transmits and the CCS receives on the same channel (haha ...

Don't know what happened on your side. Also updated my 2.0 modules after you reported and they are fine.
Maybe you can build a tester, too? 16 resistors in series. like 270 Ohms or so. Then run your battery voltage (or better a lab supply) over all of them and tap off to the BMS. There shouldn't be ...

Re: Bootloader update via Wifi [SOLVED]

Spent some though on it and it doesn't make sense to add CAN support to the boot updater as of now. If you have a processor without CAN bootloader you can't program the boot updater anyway. You always need UART access to do this.

If you have no unwanted regen or acceleration don't change it! So 6 or 7 seems good?

Re: Flying ADC 16 channel BMS 96S test

GND to GND, "Voltage" to 5V, "Signal" to CUR+
Parameter idcmode to AdcSingle

I think the Leaf sensor outputs an asymmetric signal. So at 0A it sits at 3.2V or so. Can be adjusted with idcofs

Went out for a test drive myself now. Started with syncadv=10. Already in neutral it is much more controlled, I can spin up nicely to 7500 rpm without sudden takeoff like before.
But then on driving things looked differently. No self acceleration but 2 short bursts of unwanted regen when ...
