Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

I'm just starting testing on my V2 board which has more io and chademo support. Hi aot93, After doing a lot of the initial research into these components, I struggled to actually get the motor spinning, but finally worked yesterday. Would be really interested in a V2 board if you have any available...

Re: Outlander rear motor and inverter

Hello All, Good to see some more people having luck with these components. I'm still having a bit of trouble actually getting the inverter activating and motor turning despite being pretty confident we're sending all the right messages. I feel like it's a sequencing issue on start-up, I think I can ...

Re: Outlander rear motor and inverter

Hello All, I've got my bench set up with the rear inverter and am successfully receiving messages from it. I believe I've got most of the info needed to send the right signals (one big realisation was that the Byte order is 'Motorola' format rather than 'Intel' i.e. MSB first. I'm sending the signal...

Re: Mitsubishi Outlander rear axle

So, update on getting the Outlander inverter to drive the motor. Need to have pin 13 (IGCT) on the Grey connector (D-211) connected to +12V to wake up the inverter. Inverter also appears to monitor pin 12 (RSDN), and reports this on CAN 0x289 byte 8 (not connected is 04, connected is 00) Have got th...

Re: Outlander rear motor and inverter

Do you have a part number for that Suzuki Jimny clutch plate? All the online sellers list it as having 20 splines (motor 18) but it wouldn't be the first time I've mixed and matched things only to discover there were specifications misquoted across all the websites probably all referencing the same...

Re: Outlander rear motor and inverter

iirc the last coupler we had made was 80 euro and just required the gearbox and motor at the engineering workshop for a couple of days (they also made an adapter plate at the same time). Watch from 5:00 in this video; https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=30#p4751 That's really us...

I've been working on a coupling to a VW gearbox: Gearbox Coupling.png I can foresee the driveshaft coupling being a challenge ...

Re: Outlander rear motor and inverter

If I made a few of these, would anyone be interested in some? Can either make with Cable Glands (can only really fit M12), as blanks, or custom. This is the first design so need to trial and iterate, but any recommendations gladly accepted! Obviously for development purposes only! Outlander Inverter...

Re: Outlander rear motor and inverter

Ah great thanks. Will get an SJ clutch disk to check the fit. Will also design some blanks/gland plates for the auxiliary power, DC and Motor ports. I've got a rough design drawn up of the motor flange, will print this out to check the accuracy. Does someone have the pinout for the vehicle connector...

Re: Outlander rear motor and inverter

Has anyone had luck with 3D printing connectors? Not sure if the resolution and accuracy will be high enough, but I'll give it a go. Would be useful if anyone can identify an alternative female pin which fits the male pins, I don't have many lying around. Also, split my motor off today to try and me...

Re: Outlander rear motor and inverter

Hello All, Have just got a rear motor and inverter. Came with the resolver cable and a bunch of HV cables so that's handy. Looks like the Vehicle connector is out of stock on digikey and apparently obsolete according to mouser... Anyone found any spares (or happen to have any lying around?) Will get...

Re: VW Squareback DIY EV

Good work - keen to follow along! I'm planning something similar with the Lexus MGR to drive an aircooled VW. I think I had come to similar conclusions as you, but similar to you, hadn't realised some of those finer points around the inverters! From your experience in research, it sounds like you'd ...
