Re: Mitsubishi outlander charger and DC:DC
Hi guys Now I have the LV junction box tidied up I've moved onto something I should have sorted months ago and that is automating the end of charging. I'm still setting a timer every time I start charging to remind me to unplug. To that end I've been playing with an Arduino Due with a modified versi...

Re: [Driving] Freelander EV With Gen1 Leaf electrics and EVBMW VCU
Thanks, I've now done almost 500 miles since it pigged on me (technical term) and it's been driving great. For people to say EV's can't tow is just stupid, to say they can't tow very far is a bit less stupid, especially if the load is bulky and/or heavy, also if you need to recharge with a trailer a...

Re: [Driving] Freelander EV With Gen1 Leaf electrics and EVBMW VCU
Latest video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAxTWyS4bYI&t=380s And I put a few miles on the car over the weekend. I always wanted this to be a practical workhorse that I don't need to be too precious about IMG_20240420_104050671_HDR.jpg Every time I use it to tow a trailer it's another time I d...

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
So for some reason with this new version the startup sequence of the car has become unreliable. Maybe 30% or 40% when I turn on the ignition I get positive contactor enabled but the throttle does not work. It may be something in my startup sequence but as it took me weeks to figure out a reliable st...

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
That's what I would expect. The ISA shunt data is sent to Serial2 which is the wifi interface. To view it on the terminal you to need to change Serial2 to Serial, or you could copy the code so it sends to both. Thanks mate, I'll give that a try tomorrow and report back. I was hoping there would be ...

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
So I tried this code exactly as you sent it and although it enables the serial outputs from the Inverter and lets me drive I don't see anything from the shunt. I only get Motor temp, Inverter temp and rpm on the display. This is what I see in the serial monitor Untitled.png Could it be a library ver...

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
I have tested with your exact code with the } fixed and it all works. I am only sending messages to Can0 and don't have wifi so all readings are going to Serial ( I am using Arduino Due so just looking with serial monitor in IDE ). I thought it might be a timing problem as CheckCAN is polled in loo...

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
Sorry mate, I've been messing about trying different things but I still only get Inverter CAN with this code. The ISA Shunt is not giving any output unless I put the sensor.begin line back in. Would it help If I got some CAN logs? If so is there a sequence you would suggest? CAN0 and CAN1? Sorry to ...

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
It didn't work. :( I don't get anything from the ISA Shunt if I comment out the sensor.begin line and if I put it back in I get nothing on the display from the inverter. The thing that confuses me is that with the sensor.begin line on place the VCU is still controlling the inverter and allowing me t...

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
So after a lot of messing about I'm no further on.
With the line below in place I get voltage, current and power from the ISA shunt but the Inverter CAN is blocked.
Sensor.begin(port,datarate);
If I try setting filters to 'false' it either stops everything or makes no difference.

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
Thank you for this, I'm pretty sure at some stage I tried using Can0 instead but couldn't figure out the correct syntax.
It is no longer giving an error so I'll pop down to the car and see what it does for my display.

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
Sorry I though I had already thanked you for this but checking back I hadn't I tried this line of code but still having issues. Seting up the ISA shunt sets a filter on can0 that blocks the inverter can ids. Adding the line in bold after Sensor.begin may fix it. Sensor.begin(port,datarate); port->se...

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
OK so I figured out I can get the VCU to turn on the inverter with this code by checking for the voltage from the shunt rather than the inverter so that bit is working but the motor temp, inverter temp and motor rpm no longer show in the display and the dash so the line of code I mentioned above see...

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board
Here is a question for those of you familiar with the IVT shunt and better at coding than me. I've had my car driving for a few months but have only gotten around to working on the shunt now. Version 1.5 of the Leaf code includes the ISA shunt but as standard it does not work, as in it does not show...

Re: [WIP] 1965 Ford Mustang
Looking good
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?

I had the same issue with a gen 1 leaf motor. Put a load on it and it will be fine. I found with the transmission bolted on it was just enough load.
