Re: Leaving the forum

Damien, I'm sad to see you go. Your input and knowledge has helped numerous people through the years including myself. I deeply wish I had more electrical engineering knowledge to have helped you in your projects, for this I am sorry. I also I want you to know that I have tried and used your boards ...

LDU parameters showing reverse when in forward

Trying to make sense of what's happening here. When motor going forward it shows reverse on parameters page on laptop. When in reverse it shows forward. Even trying to use the button swapped setting on perimeters page it shows the same thing. Should I just ignore it or is there a reason or a fix? I ...

Re: Tesla Large Drive Unit Support Thread

So here's maybe a new question since I couldn't find the answer to or my search and speed reading skills are pretty terrible. I have a Tesla sport motor setup that can pull well over 1000 amps but my battery pack is rated at 900amps max. What settings in the parameters can I use to limit what the in...

Re: MachE parts already on the market!

The only people I know at the moment with Eluminator motor info is AEM. They actually used a Tesla subframe and installed an Eluminator motor in it and put it in another S197 Mustang like I built and they bought from me. They used a lot of my ideas in the Eluminator Mustang build which I like as it ...

I've never seen that setup either and I've dealt with a lot of LDU setups. I agree it could be a very early unit.

Re: Mercedes-Benz B Electric - motor support

Hi, I hook my motors up exactly like the diagrams posted for the LDU motor on this forum. You do have to have 12 volts and a drive pack around 50 to 100 volts. You also have to set your parameters correctly for the lower drive pack voltage. You just need to read all the LDU setup things that Damien ...

Re: Tesla Large Drive Unit Support Thread

Hi guys, Any know if a model 3 throttle would work with the LDU Damien board. I'm thinking of swapping my Model 3 drive setup for a LDU and would like to keep the Model 3 pedal if I can. I've run the Damien board in the past with the Model s pedal just wondering if they are the same hall effect setup.

Re: I bought a Chevy Volt Gen1 DC-DC Converter - Now What?

Hi Guys, Been a bit since I've been here. I've been using the Chevy volt Gen 1 DC-DC converter on 3 of my builds. I use a Teensey and 1 line of code to run them. Very simple. Here's the code. I believe I set it to 14.0 volts. I'm on vacation so I can't verify at the moment. The charger is hooked up ...

Re: Battery opinions while I have the car apart?

Hi Jon, Been awhile. I would suggest looking at the OX battery from Electric GT in California. I've been running them now in my M3 powered Musktang for the last few months with great results. 16 modules, 42 KWh and about 450 lbs. They are small and can be configured. Excellent C rating. Not cheap bu...

Re: Olimex MOD-WIFI-ESP8266 alternatives

To upgrade to the commercial firmware in my Gen 2 charger V5 I ended up using a Wemos D1. Tried to program the stock 8266 with no luck. The D1 took the first time. I've uploaded a couple pics to show how I installed it as it has a bigger footprint. I used 2, 5 wide connectors and plugged them into t...

Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware

I give that a shot. You don't have to reflash the board after the 5 minute timer, correct? It should just charge for 5 minutes every time you plug it in before you put in the Pin, correct?

Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware

Assuming the charger is programmed more or less like a standard inverter: -Flash ESP8266 with whatever it needs (spiffs, html files, etc.). Sounds like you've got this done. -Flash STM32 on the charger board using ST-Link. First stm32_loader, then stm32_charger (latter can be done using ESP8266?). ...

Please cancel my other order if you can and use this for the charge key and keep the change. Well it seems that I had to get charged again. Keep the highest of...

I guess I was basing it on no raise in voltage. I thought the voltage would go up as it starting charging. Thank you guys.
