Re: Electrify Your Ride - new conversion guide book

That order got cancelled somehow, so last week I remembered to re-order.

Do we really not have a German word for 'crimp'?

Had a quick browse, will read the electronic section in detail.

Re: Cutting out for no apparent reason

If its cutting out randomly that could be many different things, of which the vacuum pump could be one.

It would be good to get visiblity of the error flags in the inverter, you lose access to that webinterface when it cuts out, too?

Re: BMS questions

split pack or all in one place? Don't go for a single BMS in a split pack, extending sensing wires is error prone. How good are you with code?

Next for the charging, Tesla Gen 2 or use the inverter board?

Most people fit an A/C charger, I am not aware of any projects apart from johu's Polo that used/are still using the inverter charging.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Re: [WIP] Dual motor W124 E320 Estate

... My biggest question is would this truly require an - or rather two - OpenInverter boards? I think it depends on the extent of the swap, right? If I were to put all of the Tesla control systems in, it should work because it won't "know" it's riding in an old chassis. But do we know the...

Re: Update via wifi fails

Can you open developer console in the browser and go through the upload process and see if there are multiple requests coming through?

Which firmware are you trying to flash? Fellten or OI?

You might have to take it out, but it is worth trying a few things over wifi first.

Re: Is a Leaf BMS OK with the Battery being split in the wrong place?? [SOLVED]

My theory is by doing so the BMS will not have full pack voltage across it therefore any oddities from charger/heater etc. cannot harm it. Explain this in more details please. I don't think this is a good plan, but maybe I am misunderstanding. Where would the relay be and where would the maintenanc...
