[SOLD] For Sale: used SDU V7 and Prius Gen2 boards

Moving sale, haven't touched these boards in a year or so. SDU board was in my conversion for a time, Gen2 Prius was only used for inverter testing. SDU has current sensors soldered in, these can be removed if you like. No connectors included, only what's in the pictures. SDU board: $150 obo shipped...

Re: IVT-S Shut Inquiry

CAN1 has internal CAN termination resistor. You need to have 2 termination resistors, ideally at the 'ends' of the bus.
It really isn't too fussy at low bitrates over short distances.
With a Leaf stack you may have to be more careful, just remember that you have a resistor in your shunt.

Re: Chademo Controller Development

Hm... no i tries that already and it just stoped charging. No tapering of current... this is why i wanted to setup tapering. Do you think i should setup greater difference? As in 390V for charge and 394V for max? That should work better. I believe the max is also so the EVSE knows how high the pack...

Re: Tesla SDU parameters for 5.11.R

Very sorry to hear that. Did you program your contactor to open on trip events? I think I had it keep them closed, as after a trip all I had to do was let off throttle for it to restart (that was the behaviour with that new option IIRC). When the whole inverter went dead short it popped my fuse pre...

Re: Chademo Controller Development

Which CAN bus are you on? And which firmware version is this? I think I had ISA on one bus and the EVSE on the other bus just to avoid any issue with bus load (also so you can have ISA talking to the rest of the car).

Hmm. Going through isolation and getting contactors on means CAN is working up to that point. Error 32 is just "EVSE_STATUS_STOPPED" -- nothing really helpful there, but it means the car didn't throw the error, the station did. Hmm. When D2 turns on (goes to ground) it should pull IN2 low....

Re: Toyota Prius Gen 2 Inverter Controller

So, I tried another foolish plan before I checked back here. If I was erroring out because UDCMAX was exceeded, why not just crank up my UDCMAX? So I cranked my UDCMAX to the max of 1000v. Same behavior, 1 second or precharge and then the relay shuts off, but, different errors now. No UDCMAX error....

Ah, sorry, missed those somehow. Very interesting that it's measuring high. Have you calibrated the voltage sensor? It's a 2 step process, one with no HV and one with HV. No HV: Offset to 0, gain to 1, then read udc; set offset equal to udc reading. Then with HV: Gain to make udc match your actual H...

Hmm. What are the output states? (Can't remember if those show up in the interface!) Also, remembering precharge and main behaviour. At the moment, your precharge powers up on boot, then turns off after a second or two. Correct? Precharge should turn on as soon as the board boots. So that part's fin...

Pin 2 of Chademo plug? As in the supplied power from the station? Pin 7 (proximity) doesn't pull hard enough to ground to activate a standard automotive relay. Pin 2 is however intended to send power through the contactors, so it should have at least a few amps of burst capacity (and seems to do fin...

Re: Tesla SDU purchase options?

Minimal modification. Take the 12ish bolts off for the inverter, remove phase cables, unplug connectors. Then you take out the original board. (Few more bolts). The difficult part appears here. You need to desolder the two current sensors which protrude from the original board, then solder them into...

Re: leaf battery pack peak amp

Leaf pack is not enough power for an LDU. Cells will be very unhappy with the discharge amount and you'll get lots of sag.
LG Chem cells, such as found in Chevy Volt packs, are more suitable, and of course Tesla batteries can handle the power.
