Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle

Just to be sure. Without the throttle pedal connected, you can spin the motor in manual Mode without juddering? What battery voltage are you running?

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle

That does look more promising. What did you do? It looks like you have to stop at some moment when doing rotations as there are longish straight lines at similar points. Is this correct? Try to do 2 or 3 smooth revolutions without any stopping and plot again.

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle

Sorry, I'm away for a few weeks, so cannot really help.
Just to be sure, you have resolver 0 to 360 graph.
You have set up syncoffs as per the video. Did you go through different values to get to 10120 or did you put in Damien's value?

Re: VW GTE 3.6Kw charger 5QE 915 682 AF reverse engineer

My lock & harness are from the same make/model vehicle as the OBC according to cross references.

I've got a prius battery that sits at about 170vdc , but hope to do tests with resistance first.

Did you try a charge session with a big resistance instead of a battery?
I'll try (over weekend) to look at what happens if charge port lock is requested and report back .
I can only lock the charger port lock. It doesn't return the signal that it is closed, so cannot be opened....i can never get ...

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle

Is it possible to load throttle parameters in graph form?
I don't have the figures in front of me, but vaguely remember setting throttle. From what I remember:
There are 2 potentiometers.
Pot is for 0 to 4095 (digits)
Pot2 is the reverse 4095 to 0 (digits)

Setting Pot: note value when NOT pressed ...

Yes it is Potnom. Put your Spot Values in automatic update & press the pedal slowly. Your values should change smoothly.

Original message didn't go through, so quick reply
Johu's Audi A2 build is the best real life example to date. See if you can use those parameters as your base. Damien was using a Gen3 in the video, so might differ.

Another day, another hole on the wall..Some more spoofing, this time adding ID data from the 6A_charge_log.
Still have the LED light staying RED & no charge activation.

Re: VW GTE 3.6Kw charger 5QE 915 682 AF reverse engineer

Little update. Scrolling through values, I noticed Charge Mode = No request & Operating Status = Standby
I have not been able to spoof signals for these values . Could they be internal calculations based on the data received?
