Re: Dublin DIY EV Meetup at Tog Hackerspace 26/02/23

I was chatting to someone regarding cable for the resolvers/encoders on the GS450H, I didn't actually get your name. The cable I was talking about is generally referred to as belden cable, but a few companies make it. It was originally used as data communications in the 1990s before UTP cable. I hav...

Re: EV MPPT for E-Golf 2020

I have about 1.8kw of panels which would be ideal for charging the car in summer, if it would accept the dc into the on board charger. If anyone feels brave, variac -> rectifier -> caps -> socket -> granny cable -> charger , would prove the ac charger can take dc. But I would first check out the pow...

Re: EV MPPT for E-Golf 2020

I would definitely look to go in via the main ac charge port, not modify the car at all. You could get an off grid inverter as has been suggested above and provide an AC signal to the car. I wonder how many single phase ev chargers would mind if they got a dc supply. A quick look at the power electr...

Re: Mitsubishi Outlander rear motor invertor

It sounds like you are planning on using the outlander rear inverter, which people have got working via CAN. Many of us have also got the outlander charger working via CAN also. The DC:DC from the outlander pretty much works, once given the enable input. In the outlander both units mount beside each...

Re: The ZombieVerter VCU Project

The basic idea for the VCU code i developed is to use C++ classes for the different devices/inverters/vehicles/shunts etc, and they dynamically create them when configuring the vehicle. Unfortunately I think you are opening a bit of a can of worms. Many deeply embedded and/or hard real-time systems...

Re: The ZombieVerter VCU Project

I have got my ZombieVerter code to a state where it is ready for bench testing, which i plan to start this week. It implements a vcu_device class, which all vehicles, inverters, chargers and shuts use as the base class. This code implements regen capabilities for inverters which take a torque setpoi...

Re: The ZombieVerter VCU Project

That's really strange, is there limited drive capabilities on that pin or something? sounds like a very weak drive capability. I've been caught out similar with the STM32, where the RTC structure wasn't being zero'd correctly, prior to initialising the clock, hence it could re-configure an i/o pin a...

Re: The ZombieVerter VCU Project

did you replay the CAN log from the repo?

There was also another user (pemtek) which i communicated with when doing the outlander charger work who had both the inverters working on a vehicle. The CAN messaging is similar to the IMEV i believe, i know i looked at the IDs and they did see similar.
