Thanks for the input, it's a big help :) Yeah, the more I think about it, the more the batteries-over-the-axle option seems like the better one. Like I say, I had sort of discarded the idea early on. They didn't seem to easily fit above the axle and the dimensions of the fuel tank lined up so well. ...

Correction, the rear-most point of the car is about 150mm from the edge of the fuel tank area. So, even worse than I thought.

Would it be easier to put a cage around the back of the car in the boot or behind the rear bumper to strengthen it rather than compromising the battery position? In the long run its probably just easier to relocate the batteries rather than trying to add strength to rear of the car. They will actua...

Wow, my last update was August. Time has really flown by. This project is still very much alive. I've not posted anything because, frankly, I'm still trying to get ahead of the rust. Here's some of the gore for those who enjoy. Cowl tank replacement. IMG_8071.jpeg IMG_8140.jpeg IMG_8810.jpeg IMG_885...

I did a little testing and this seems to be working OK. PR submitted for the esp8266 version : https://github.com/jsphuebner/esp8266-w ... ce/pull/24

Will have a look at the esp32 version tomorrow.

This is what I have so far. Open to any suggestions

It appears after two failed data fetches and disappears on recovery.

A little status message at the top about "Wifi/Controller comms established" in green vs. "Wifi cannot find controller" in red would at least save them some troubleshooting time knowing what's broken. This is a great idea. I've logged a github issue for this and will take a look...

I had to do some fighting with some crappy Olimex boards :roll: but managed to get there in the end. Changes: * For screens where the width is less than 1000px, the menu bar will automatically shrink down and only show the icons. * The icons get bigger to make them more easy to tap on a small screen...

I'd say the thing to do would be to use the "@media" css stuff to show/hide things depending on the width of the screen. On small screens the left hand menu would normally be hidden, but pop out when you hit a 'hamburger' icon in the top left. Could probably do something similar with the r...

Yay! Great to see this stuff getting merged in. Really glad this has been useful

Happy to help out of course if there are any other tweaks needed.

The OEM one looks to be a little bigger. 115mm between opposite centres.

I too have been looking into this :) There are a couple of other options, although a little pricey still. But they get around the NDA issue. Rak WisLink LV200V20 based on QCA6410. $29 each RED Beet H based on QCA7005. €29.50 each. Edit: ah, rereading the original post, I see the Red Beet has been me...

Keep at it.

Just for clarification, I was hoping you might be able to provide some information on the RPM from the gearbox output at different voltages. Hey, sorry, I missed this somehow. To be honest my gs300 has been sitting untouched on the garage floor for months. I have lots of other work to do on the car...

I got teensy 3.2 and connected with can transceiver but always I got the message modul missing. What I made wrong ? You've provided very little info, so, it's very hard to help. How have you wired up the transceiver to the teensy? How have you wired up the canbus? How are you powering the CSCs? Pos...

You'll need to provide more info for anyone to be able to help you I'm afraid.

Pictures of your setup, some diagrams of your wiring, any messages from the OI interface, a copy of your params.

anyone know the part number for the IS300h Inverter wiring harness?

There are some things to think about in allowing a BMS to control contactors and BMS code in general .... 1. Given that car is a very electrically and efm noisy environment a watchdog in the code is imperative because if the chip locks up you loose BMS, so therefore a watchdog to reboot it in that ...

Here you go https://github.com/chrskly/electric-mus ... in/bms/src

Another major piece of work has been around the BMS. I have two BMW PHEV packs that I plan to put in the car. They'll be paralleled together. If I were using just one, I could just use SimpBMS and call it a day. But since I'm using two, things are a little more tricky. The two packs will not be perm...

I made up some of the front mount to hold the motor in the transmission tunnel. I cut it from a big 6mm steel plate with an angle grinder. Probably overkill.

Yeah, I'm still working away on it. The problem is I broke the first rule of EV conversion club : don't pick a rust bucket :) I've mostly been working away on rust repair, but there have been some developments on the conversion front. It's been a while since I've posted an update here, so, will post...

Love this paint job. Looks amazing!

Ah, sorry, my brain parsed 'locost' as 'low cost' for some reason. Listen to Tom and Pete
