Re: Prius Gen 2 Max rpm/Hz without throttle input [SOLVED]


Check out my build thread I have done similar with an rx400h gearbox, removing the reduction gears and diff in the process


Thanks for the input, it's an interesting read, I thought about the differential and gear that are inside the gearbox that I will not be using, I was assuming that the ...

Re: Prius Gen 2 Max rpm/Hz without throttle input [SOLVED]


Known problem unfortunately. With field weakening the motor can spin up without throttle input. Torque will be low but enough for an unloaded motor to spin up. Set fwcurmax to 0 while bench testing


That did fix the issue, but now the motor is limited to around 4000rpm even though I increased ...

Prius Gen 2 Max rpm/Hz without throttle input [SOLVED]

I have now followed this FOC tuning video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tirDQJ6iH28
I have the throttle working. If I press the throttle too much the motor goes into 16000 RPM or 1000Hz and stays there until I cut the power.
I am sure it's a parameter, I have tried to limit the Hz with "fmax" to ...

Re: Prius Gen 2 inverter with Gen 2 transaxle no test spin [SOLVED]

Good news, everyone, I have spin!
Minimum settings needed for spin or lights from default (version 5.27.R-sine) are the following:
0 boost 20000
15 dirmode DefaultForward
85 fslipspnt 1
86 ampnom 70

There was an issue with low voltage (12v) supply to the inverter for me, when I fixed it the power ...

That is true, I changed it to 20000 but no difference.

Re: Prius Gen 2 inverter with Gen 2 transaxle no test spin [SOLVED]


can you download http://192.168.4.1/cmd?cmd=json and upload here as a text file? All that while attempting to light up the bulbs.

I'm assuming you have MSDN (pin 25, for MG2) or GSDN (pin 20, for MG1) connected to 12V? What's the current draw of the idle inverter on the 2-pole power inlet next to ...

Re: Prius Gen 2 inverter with Gen 2 transaxle no test spin [SOLVED]

After writing my last post, it does sound like the lid switch is the issue. I took a closer look at it. 2 cables goes from it, red and black, and the red one goes to a connector that is not connected to anything. The first picture is a screenshot from a video from Damien Maguire, the second picture ...

Going backthrough some of my threads - So connected 2 independant 12 volt supplies - Inverter 'High voltage' and Adapter Board 'Low voltage'
Direction parameter in Permanent Forward, MSDN to Main 12 volt contacter , fslipspnt - 11, ampnom - 75%, and Run Inverter in Manual Mode - Motor spinning ...

Re: Prius Gen 2 inverter with Gen 2 transaxle no test spin [SOLVED]

I have the lightbulbs in delta configuration and started the inverter but I have no light. There is only one 12v battery as HV now.
12.6V at the rails in the inverter.

Re: Prius Gen 2 inverter with Gen 2 transaxle no test spin [SOLVED]


Is there a way you can make up a light bulb setup as per https://openinverter.org/forum/download/file.php?id=4273&mode=view?

Let's focus on getting signals out of MG2


I can attempt the lightbulb setup, just to clarify I have always used the MG2 output, I just used MG1 motor since it doesn't ...

Re: Prius Gen 2 inverter with Gen 2 transaxle no test spin [SOLVED]

I tried with the MG1 motor, didn't get any voltage to the MG2 output. Here are some pictures of my setup, 3 lead acid batteries in series with a 230v lightbulb that never lights up, but I could read 36v at the rails, slowly declining when batteries are disconnect so I would guess that capacitors was ...

I uploaded a new parameter file from here:
https://github.com/jsphuebner/stm32-sine/releases
So right now I have version 5.27.R-sine and now I have the fslipspnt and ampnom parameters, but still nothing happens when I put in values there.
Must I change more parameters or connect more wires to get my ...

Prius Gen 2 inverter with Gen 2 transaxle no test spin [SOLVED]

Hi, I have purchased the Toyota Prius™ Gen2 inverter controller:
https://openinverter.org/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=63

I have Prius Gen 2 inverter and Gen 2 transaxle/gearbox.

I am now in the process of getting my first spin.
