I assume you've already read the threads about switching your A/B wires on the 4 pin encoder connector. I can't recall if that would affect the hand-turn test you're doing or not. Are your encoder wires shielded? I was bench testing with a brand new harness that did not have the cables shielded for ...

Awesome, I've decided to run my setup like this. I couldn't get the "charge enable" or "charge safety" features to work on the Orion which is strange, it looks like Actia was using the "charge enable." I have the multipurpose enable function set to float high if any cel...

This is very helpful, I might run my setup like this. In this configuration, does the BMS just interrupt the loop when the pack is at full voltage since the EVCC isn’t receiving information through CAN?

Yes, one of the limited features of the BMS I’m using is that it only has one CAN bus. I can see the CAN data in the EVCC terminal but it labels the messages as “unknown.”

Hey everyone, I bought a TSM2500 with an EVCC from Thunderstruck a little bit ago, before I knew I was going to be using an Orion 2 BMS for my build. I want to let the EVCC handle the J1772 control and charge tapering because the Orion BMS I have is a limited functionality version from an Actia batt...

Do you have the CANdapter for interfacing a PC with the Orion BMS?

If anyone has a CANdapter for interfacing with an Orion 2 BMS or a current sensor/thermistor harness with thermistors attached I would like to buy either. Thanks!

I’m adapting E30 axels. Not 100% sure if it’s 108mm but haven’t done the research to verify because I don’t like the price tag on this option. I feel like I can do better than $500-$1200. Right now I’m thinking of machining an adapter plate that inserts into the Tesla stub itself. Pretty tight fit w...

Hey everyone, currently working on the issue of getting power from the motor to the wheels. I'm currently weighing the options of: 1. Lathing down the Tesla input stub, machining an adapter plate, and welding the two together. The issue with this is I'm not sure what alloy the Tesla stubs are made o...

Hey everyone, getting close to wiring all my high/low voltage components together on my conversion. I was wondering if anyone has a general wiring diagram, or a diagram specific to their vehicle that I could both learn from and use to help me wire my car. Although I'm aware of all the components and...

original wire size and length? Since I was just bench testing when this happened I was really using whatever I had lying around. A little embarrassed to admit I was using premade alligator clips with 22AWG wire. I used some ridiculously thick 8AWG when I got it to work, just because I wanted to go ...

'm curious. Is this what your web-ui looks like when you "loose parameters"? Yeah, that's exactly what my interface looked like. The wiring for the power to my OI board was really thin, all I did was increase the gauge of the wires supplying 12v and it solved my issue. It sounds like the ...

Hey everyone, running a 62kwh leaf pack with my base LDU. Does anyone know how many amps I’ll be able to pull from this pack? Also, does anyone think increasing the busbar size from the ones that come with the pack will help my amps? Side note, how much can an LDU pull? I know a sport LDU can get up...

Do you know if there's documentation relating to setting custom high/low limits on the leaf charger?

Hey everyone, I haven't been able to find a thread documenting the current options for chargers. If there is such a thread (or wiki page) I apologize, please point me in that direction. However, I thought it might be useful to start a discussion about this. I am close to needing to purchase a charge...

My LV connection was the problem! I was using some pretty thin wire to get my 12v to my harness. I think this is definitely a lesson on the importance of having strong and capable connections. Thank you johu, for being so helpful. I finally spun my motor for the first time on the bench.

Hey all, I'm trying to bench spin my LDU. I was having an OVERCURRENT error, then I swapped my params to some basic LDU params that were posted on the forum. I'm able to get it into run and fwd. When I apply throttle I hear a small blip of a whine from the inverter and then nothing. My pedal doesn't...

I took some comprehensive notes on this video because I want to make sure the information is as accessible as possible as I believe it is critically important to understand every part of this when using an LDU for a conversion. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jCwiw7hn4rgId-UZzeqksZiu2n_AQXk8IYWY...

Hey everyone, I've encountered an OVERCURRENT error after two days of operation with only encoder issues. I had the motor clunking/jerking spinning two hours ago, and was researching encoder fixes. I came across a video that showed an encoder wired with the 5v and ground opposite to how I had it wir...

Thanks again to everyone who has been helping me get my motor bench tested. I'm very glad I decided to test at low voltage as it allowed me to visualize and understand how everything works. The issue I'm currently having is almost certainly an encoder issue. I know the encoder is very sensitive, but...

Thank all of you for your help! After using a parameter set from the parameters link in the wiki, changing some pot values, and rewiring my pedal correctly, I was able to get a response from my pedal. I'm still only getting a very slow jerking motion accompanied by knocking sounds from the motor reg...

Can you download and share your parameter file? Here is the parameter file. params.json contactors wired (photo and/or diagram)? The wiring diagram I used is also attached. It's from Damien's GitHub. I realized the issue when starting in manual mode is not one of my contactors opening, it's the mai...

Error codes are shown in the spot values section, below the parameters. I was able to produce an OVERCURRENT error by flipping the sign on "ocurlim" so I'm confident that OVERCURRENT is not the issue. However I flipped A and B on the encoder side and it had no effect on my issue. I may be...

UPDATE: I hooked up the pedal(e46) and plugged in the encoder wires. As soon as I give my direction signal, with no input from the pedal applied, the motor starts spinning. However, it spins very slowly with a rhythmic knocking sound. Depressing the pedal does nothing. The posts on my two 12v batter...

Here is a plot of what I am describing.
