Re: [First Drive] Leyland 255 Tractor - Nissan Leaf EM61

Got the charger working pretty well now. Got around the locking issue by coding out the lock motor. So now the charger will just work when you plug in an EVSE. Hydraulics are now working, so now I can finish putting the linkages back together and then I might try and take it out for some work! There...

Picked up the donor car today, currently only planning to use the gearbox and inverter but the seats are very comfortable.

Re: [First Drive] Leyland 255 Tractor - Nissan Leaf EM61

Done a tiny bit more with the charging interface. I can now stop the charge manually, although it still won't unlock. I think I might try and recode the charger again and see if there is anything I missed regarding the lock mechanism. Took it out for a bit more of a drive on the weekend, getting qui...

Re: 11KW MLBevo charger group hack 5QE915684BJ possible

Ah I just wrote a long post and then tried to add a photo and the post was lost! Anyway in short, I looked at replacing the large HV cable for something cheaper and more commonly available. The small HV connector cannot be removed due to some small wires with no slack and the 60 pin connector is mo...

This is where I am currently with the chill plates. holes for bolting in four modules, plus some extra tabs on the end with a couple tapped holes along the side to aid with securing. Currently with a lid, perhaps it could be secured by a ton of counter sunk screws to the main plate and sealed with s...

Re: [WIP] - 1989 Range Rover Classic + Nissan Leaf

Love the test battery pack! Always a good idea to leave the battery until last, get everything else in and then look for batteries. They are getting cheaper all the time. You can fit half a VW 55kWh pack in the fuel tank area on a RRC, potentially should be enough room in the front for the other hal...

Re: [WIP] Leyland 255 Tractor - Nissan Leaf EM61

One more milestone reached today with a successful attempt of charging. Took me a few weeks to get this sorted but in the end I think the biggest issue was a wiring mix up in charge port lock motor and feedback. Got it running with zombie today, very basic and still lots of bugs iron out to make it ...

First real drive! https://youtu.be/incSAPv-YMA There are three big things left to do before I can try and drive it properly. Mount the 12v battery properly, not perched on top of the HV pack.

Re: 11KW MLBevo charger group hack 5QE915684BJ possible

Well I would say we have probably gone as far as we can with it at this stage without further information on the firmware or maybe can logs from the specific vehicle. But I think it's a good start. We have established that they still power on and can communicate with ODIS and a Mongoose adaptor. We ...

Re: 11KW MLBevo charger group hack 5QE915684BJ possible

I also wonder if they might simply work with the right canbus messages. Given it's a much smaller company using them, and the background firmware is a bit sparse, maybe it requires far less information to work than the VAG variants.

I emailed Street Scooter directly tonight, lets see what they say.

Unfortunately not, seems to read blank again after coding.

Re: 11KW MLBevo charger group hack 5QE915684BJ possible

Sorry for the confusion on part names etc. Updated the first post to be more specific. I just call everything VAG related on the charger and battery front MEB at the moment, which doesn't help.

I'll get that data from the charger tonight and report back.
