Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle


Then from there I logged in the web Interface, set ocurlim -1 ampnom 1 fslipspnt 1 selected manual mode and hit start inverter in manual mode. Went to spot values, refreshed and confirmed manualmode.
Then I first used my multimeter to test for voltage on the ic6 chip. First I tested pin 8 GND and ...

We're not out of the woods yet...

True, I'm away from home for two weeks. I'll definitely post my results once I've tested with dirmode in DefaultForward. Thank you

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle


And in the next post, I replied and went through them one by one, and said: ""default forward" - One of the parameters is about which direction the motor should be spinning by default. I forget what it's called, and it doesn't matter, because this'll be the default and even if it's not, it'll ...

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle

I did a few tests today.

I "set ocurlim -1 " and hit send custom command
I went to testing section and set manualstart to on, fslipspnt to 1 and ampnom to 1.

I started inverter in manual mode and went to check sport values for opmode if it's on manual run. It was off so I hit refresh and opmode ...

OK. I typed in "set ocurlim -1 " on the input field next to send custom command, And I hit enter. Then I put in your parameters and started the inverter in manual mode. I stopped it and checked spot values and I found opmode value to be Off. I started the inverter again but nothing changed.

There is a place in the openinverter interface, near the top, to type in manual commands (and then hit enter). This is an alternative way to changing parameters or starting and stopping the inverter

What about "opmode"?. Johannes said I should Verify that opmode reads ManualRun. Where do I find ...

Use most recent software 5.35 and set ocurlim to -1 (disabled)

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle


Three major things need to be done right for getting the inverter to pulse:
- The grounds of inverter and controller must be joined up
- MSDN must be pulled to 12V, verify this on the inverter side. That is pin 25 on the inverter connector
- All three PWM inputs must make contact to the controller ...

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle

My MSDN is connected to the 12v power supply that also powers the the VCU. I remember connecting pin 27 on the inverter connector to pin 27 on pin 27 of the smaller connector.

I will recheck all the wires and connection so that I'm sure that all my wires are alright

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle

So coming back to the three pins 28 29 30.
I didn't get any readings when I tested for voltage amd didn't see a change in waveform when using the oscilloscope.

I will recheck the wires since Johannes suspects a broken wire hence we are not getting15v reading on any of the pins 28, 28 and 30.

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle


Carefully flip the OI board over. CAREFULLY use a voltmeter or probe pin 28, 29, and 30 (small connector, the row closest to the edge of the board) when you think the inverter is on. See what you get for voltages and or waveforms. Don't slip and short something.

If you've got voltage on those ...
