Progress is slow at the moment. But there is an small update.


Is it normal that the contactors close when there is just a cable connected? Cable just connected to the car, not to a charger.

I made some progress. The Volvo can move with Leaf power.

Due to the weather progress is very slow right now.

Great project. I can't wait to see it driving with this motor.
I had my driveshafts made here in the Netherlands, let me know if you need an address.

In my Volvo I don't think the immobilizer is a problem. I get the start signal. Spoiler alert: the motor is working inside the car. I can drive.
Since there is no signal that the motor is working to the can, the systems (like powerstearing and ABS brakes) are not reacting yet. There is a mysterious ...

I made some progress. The Leaf stack is mounted in the car and the driveshafts are ordered.

Right now am I working on wiring it all into the car. The big challenge I have is how to program the Zombieverter so it tells the Volvo the motor is running and the powersteering ...

It took me a long time to make some progress. I tried FOC tuning the motor. But the motor reacted very different than expected. There are more dips in the values than in the video of Johannes and Damien. Also every time I set some values, the motor reacted different.

So I have enough of the old ...

I still have issues with the communication. By now I have a separate power supply for the wifi module and the tx and rx are connected with wires. It worked for a while and than it started to give the same loss off connection. My laptop has connection with the wifi module, but the wifi module does ...

I updated to the FOC firmware, and now it is spinning with manualid. So my mlx resolverchip is working.
Next is tuning the motor as described by Damien.

This is the last video of my progress.

I have mounted an MLX90830 on the motor and the magnet on the shaft. When dry testing it performed well.
But in the car some unexpected things happen.
All settings are default except the boost. When the boost is up and the motor in in forward or reverse, the motor starts spinning. It wont't react ...

There are no obvious pairs of wires. I also found out that an magnetic encoder is not very accurate.

I will look for a resolver. There is space inside the motor where I can fit one. Or is there inside the motor to much interference? What specs do I need to look for to get it compatible with the ...

I have removed the motor to open it for the encoder/resolver.
Does anybody recognize this? The ring is magnetic.
And the other big question is: Can this work with the Main board rev 3? Or should I try to fit another resolver?

Heb je nog losse modules te koop? Ik zoek er 3 12s, inclusief de aansluitkabel voor de BMS. Wat voor prijs moet ik aan denken?

I don't think it is a resolver. Or at least not one like in the video.
Measuring the wires gives me:
Black gives no reading
Purple - Brown 429 K Ohm
Yellow - Brown 1,09 M Ohm
Yellow - Red 426 K Ohm
Orange - Brown 1,09 M Ohm
Orange - Purple 426 K Ohm
Red - Brown 1,09 M Ohm

Does anyone recognize ...

I tried with an ULN2003 and an CD4050. I did not got it working. That is why I went to the optocoupler.
By now I am connecting the rest of the wires. Is it normal that the brainboard loses most of the changed settings when it is shut down?
And even with direct power from the 12v battery the web ...

I have an broken electric Volvo V50. This car is converted in 2011 and the company that did this does not exist anymore and the provider of the motor and inverter (Magtec) won't provide information. I got myself an Brain board rev 3 and am working on putting it into the car. Below the video I made ...

Hello,
I am working on my broken 2011 Volvo V50. This car is converted by All Green Vehicle in The Netherlands. They used an Magtec motor and inverter, these are also used for Ford transit conversions. The system does not work anymore and the software for these are not available and Magtec won't ...

I thought that the AGV transit conversion was an DC motor.
Did got this setup working in your mini?
I have an Volvo V50 that was built by AGV that has the same motor and controller. I got it as an non runner. The only problem should be an battery not charging due to not being balanced anymore. But ...
