We built a manual P-Brake actuator for the Leaf gearbox

Hello,

Ollie and Alex built a manual lever for the P-Brake on the Nissan Leaf gearbox. Fits the pulley of our shifter perfectly.

This is how it also works in the eNV200.

Custom made cogs and everything. See below.

See it in action:

Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware

Yes, of course, Amps destroy it when trying to charge at low voltage. Now, I parsed & plotted the messages the charger sends. Working working_wet_charge.png Broken broken_non_charging.png Some thoughts: - Nice to see: AC voltage drop from 240 to 226 as soon as there is a load (expected) - BMS re...

Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware

Ok, I am digging into CAN today, but I suspect I won't find anything. I wonder if I had a bad connection on the DC side, which made the charger see less than 200V for a brief moment, making it self-destruct. 1) I could parse the charger messages in my VCU (using chademo.h), and if udc is < 250V disa...

Hello, this previously happened at 60mph for us, now yesterday it only happened at 80mph, info from the test drive: RegenRamp at 0.1% managed to get to stall around 80mph once, couldn't seem to recreate, but not sure I got up to 80mph again.

Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware

Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware

Cooling was fine I think, I touched it a bunch afterwards and the gearbox/inverter were warm from the drive, charger not really. I agree, it might be a coincidence, but it dropped out just as I pressed enter. What else should I capture when I run my stress test? What plot would be helpful additional...

Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware

Ok, one more idea: I have the wet charger here that still charges on one module and that can be sacrificed.

I can set CAN up to be dumped continuously and then we can stress it and see if we can get it to break while capturing?

Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware

For the limits my understanding is that the firmware takes MIN of all limits to determine what to do in the end? aclim = MIN(cablelim, iaclim, evselim, hwaclim) dclim = MIN(idcspnt, idclim) Pure speculation :) ...What if the user makes a typo like 32.0 or 32,0 and 320 gets requested internally? ... ...

Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware

Correct, seems bricked, I tried all individual modules in it, but hwaclim, aclim, udc remain 0 for chargerena {1,2,4}. For the ramp: It was quite a small change though, it sat at 29.2A / ~ 6960W and I increased it to 32A / 7680W. Also, the EVSELimit was 29.9A or similar, so surely that limit would h...

Or asked another way: What could I try to narrow this down further?

It's a shame I haven't got a log from the mom...

Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware

Thanks for checking. Yes, single phase wired to all modules. Wiring looked OK, connectors rated for 30A. Interrupts from updating the value while charging making the firmware run out of time for another important operation? Let me know if you need anything else. I am now wondering if the "wet&q...

Does increasing iaclim while charging break a GEN2 charger? I was charging at ~16A DC @ 360V at a public charge point, ~29A AC. Then I saw that iaclim was slightly lower than what the charge point could do and increased iaclim while charging from 29A to 32A. The charge dropped off. Reconnected and ...

Should be fine for a chip that is turned off and hasn't got the 120 Ohm resistor across CANH CANL.
