Gen2 Leaf Parameters 5.32

Hey Guys, I've lost my set of parameters for my gen2 Leaf when I had to replace my board. I've got it mostly ok but it isn't quite right. Does anyone have a Json file for the current firmware I can compare with? I've been playing with Pete's simulator but am struggling to get anything comparable to ...

Re: Measuring IPM Motor Parameters from Plots

Hey Pete, Been meaning to do this for a while now but home renovations have taken most of my spare time and the beetle hasn't been driven much. I've taken some logs of my leaf motor and inverter. See attached. I've got the following results. Log10: Lq 0.341, Ld 0.12, Flux Linkage 73mWb Log11: Lq 0.3...

Re: Inverter Firmware 5.24.R

Power delivery was smooth through out the rev range and same for regen. Looking forward to go for a longer drive tomorrow 😁 Big thanks to Johannes, Pete and anyone...

Re: Chademo Controller Development

Using V2 :) The charger stops at exactly 2mins everytime, I'm thinking a compatibility issue. I'll get a CAN log over the next few days. One thing I found on the V2 board is the 3v3 wasn't connected to the can transceivers, The traces are there but a through hole is missing to join them. Great job o...

Re: Inverter Firmware 5.20.R

I've tried this firmware out briefly in my beetle and leaf motor using your parameters Johannes. It is great! Seems to have more power down low and didn't have any unwanted regen. Great work on the simulator Pete and Johannes and others! I didn't have time to grab any logs if you need them but shoul...

Re: Chademo Controller Development

I have found a hardware fault, fitted to the board is a bsp75n low side driver and on the schematic is a ncv8402. The difference is the bsp75n has the source on the tab and the ncv8402 has the drain on the tab. I wondered why the the HV enable pin was earthed the all the time πŸ˜‚.

Re: Chademo Controller Development

I took a quick CAN log today, unfortunately the software i'm using won't convert to an easily readable file. Here is a screenshot from after the isolation test and the contactors were closed. I need to read up on chademo protocol, but it seems like the controller isn't sending any current request.

When I got back I powered up the chademo controller and hooked up my wall charger just to confirm correct idc reading. That all looked pretty good to me.. One thi...

Went to do some testing today, turn on ignition and no wifi... I removed plastic sealing plate around the LV plug and spotted the wifi module in the bottom πŸ˜”. Looks like I'm splitting the inverter next weekend and making sure I glue it in place πŸ˜‚. No new firmware testing for me πŸ˜” sorry guys.

Re: 1970 VW Beetle, Gen2 Leaf motor.

Thanks! It sure does. There are still some improvements to be made as well, I've been battling a over overcurrent trip on regen at high rpm as some others have been struggling with too.

Re: suggestions for the next release 5.17 -> 5.18

Just to add further confusion, I've been driving with the 5.14 firmware with the attached parameters. If I very slowly release the accelerator pedal I don't get the over current trip above 7000rpm, I still get the unintended regen though even if I turn regen off. But I can control how much regen wit...
