Thanks,
I'll probably pester you at some point about that as I've got a couple of IMA inverters.

I've had a few personal issues that have prevented progress.
It's still sitting in the project room just as I left it.
Hopefully I can get going on this project sometime soon.

Re: I'm presenting my motorbike project at EMF camp this year.

The vinyl stickers turned out well.
A friend runs a business and although I didn't get much discount I got them delivered quickly. The font was tweaked a bit to get it to fit in a round sticker.

That's interesting.
Do you have a link to that forum? I don't appear to be having sensible google results.

If I had more time I'd consider making a breakout to the Openinverter STM32 system.

Re: Make Nissan Leaf Gen3 adapter board

Hi,
I use Kicad and an adapter board shouldn't be that taxing.
Also a good opportunity to give something back to the project.

I can send / post up photos of past work if needed.

Re: Large Motorbike Project

Continuing... This is how I aligned the motor and gearbox. The BMW K100 gearbox has a push rod hole through the main in[put shaft. On closer inspection this is a very accurately machined 10mm hole so a length of ground 10mm steel fits almost perfectly with no perceptible play. The motor output shaft...

The BMW i3 range extender inverter appears to be rated for 24kW but is there any info on what it's actual capable of?
