Re: Am I to dumb for Open Inverter

Thanks, Good stuff. Still trying to get comfortable with the user interface.
Starting to slowly not look like a completely foreign language.

Re: Am I to dumb for Open Inverter

Well, try two. got another board. I think I may have accidentally put the board on 24Vs or had it plugged in wrong. This one starts up fine and can connect. Looking at test spinning the motor. Got a precharge relay and a contactor and a bunch of switches for on and start and a Coda Throttle predal. ...

Re: Am I to dumb for Open Inverter

ooooohhhh, I think I had two 14 pin headers and not a 16 pin header. So i threw it together and didn't even notice i missed the two 5v terminals where the 16 pin header is suppose to plug in to. The pins were just hanging in air above the plug board. Sound like a cause for failure? https://imgur.com...

Re: Am I to dumb for Open Inverter

I’m a little confused where I went wrong. Had the board powered fine with jumpers. Took the old wiring harness. Had snipped pin 42 wire(light green) and the cam is twisted pair and left them dangling. Figured the two grays coming out of the double black and greens splice were just shields and left t...

Re: Am I to dumb for Open Inverter

I will go back to the shop today to check, I think when I put the original plug back in somethin of my soldering job failed or something. it seemed to easy and now that i think about it I don't believe I hooked it up backwards. It did make the a nice little fire ball inside the housing though that w...

Re: Am I to dumb for Open Inverter

hmmm, so should be able to turn the motor with just 12v?

All I acomplised today I think was that the board melts if you hook up the 12v and ground backwards so that was fun.

Re: Am I to dumb for Open Inverter

Well I got it soldered in and able to connect. ordering parts and pieces to try and spin the EM57 motor bench test next. Is testing these with a bridge rectifier a terrible idea? Don't have a battery pack yet. Probably have enough ebike batteries around I could get up to 200v. don't know if they lik...

Re: Am I to dumb for Open Inverter

Okay, I dove in pulled the plug and went to soldering it all together. My acceess shows a SSID of inverter8 but when powered up. All lights come on red and one blinks. The network is showing up as Prius and none of the passwords I have tried seem to work?

Re: Am I to dumb for Open Inverter

Yes, it is making a little more sense how it fits together.
Putting the labels facing together made much more sense.
My sheet didn’t have that nice note. Guess it’s just a lot of soldering and how confident I feel in that.

Glad to hear the one resistor is optional I guess.

Am I to dumb for Open Inverter

Received a Leaf Power pack and a uninstalled open inverter gen2 controller community edition. Looking at the requirements to put this board in, am I not smart enough to figure this out? A lot of the pages say refer to instructions and I haven't really found much for step by step install resistor her...
