The Nissan manual also indicates the PWM signal is 5v.

I have checked that PWM signal straight from a UNO pin does control the DCDC voltage.

Where did you source your LTO cells US$225 freight to Australia ex destination fees & taxes 1 OSN-LTO-30Ah LTO PRISMATIC CELL 2.3V 30AH WITH STUD TERMINAL WELDING AND MATCHING 300 US$23.00 US$6,900.00 Merry Huang Mobile/Whatsapp: +86-150 1990 2991 Web: www.osnpower.com Email: support@osnpower.c...

Where did you source your LTO cells I'll get back to on the details, but I can say it was / is a good experience so far. What is SD by the way? SD = standard Deviation. So One SD in my case is 435mAh which means, 68.2% of all my pairs are within +/-1SD (435mAh) of the mean (65.6Ah) It is such a tas...

Pairing the Cells The supplier of the 30Ah yinglong LTO cells was kind enough to capacity test each cell, - I imagine they use some EIS method of determining Ah capacity, happily, all were over 30Ah with the average being 32.8 Ah. So the intention is to pair the cells up (nom 60Ah) so it will be 2P...

300 LTO Cells

These will be configured into a string of 150.
One third will go under the bonnet and the rest will go under the tray.

Leaf DC-DC Converter It was decided that we didn't need the LEAF PDM (Power distribution Module) but we do want the DC-DC converter. We tested the DC-DC converter and it work's fine, even with 208v of a prius battery. It did like a bit of load. So we could vary the output with a 8.5Hz 5v PWM from 1...

The Engine Bay


Engine (Motor) mounts done.
Inverter mounted.
Aircon Compressor mounted.

Yes - the bonnet does shut

Our mate Francisco features in this video, a man of action, wanting us to slip the motor-gearbox into the Ute that night - We got half way there :oops: It took us another 5 days days to get it in - and we still don't know how we did it :o but it took the hoist and a couple of trolley jacks and about...

Attaching the Leaf Motor to Gearbox
We wanted to run up the motor fitted to the gearbox on the vertical. The Gearbox is quite heavy - 75kg. The frame suspended the gearbox free of the ground and the hoist was there just as a precaution.

We spent quite a bit of time designing the coupler and adapter plate. https://github.com/mackelec/SolarUte/tree/master/Fusion360 We printed a 3d version of the coupler and gave that to a local firm along with the motor to produce the coupler.

The story has moved along quite a bit now

The stm32F103 in the form of the Bluepill with a price that rivaled the arduino Nano was a bit of a game changer. 32 bit processor, descent memory, grown up ADC and Timers - Great. The path for the stm32 to Arduino IDE was a bit tortuous and to this day I don't use the USB bootloader, preferring the...

I just watched your latest video which crystalized why you called this project "ZombieVerter" (I admit to not reading this whole thread) and your motivation - Very Good idea. In regards to alternative youtube channels you may want to look at the Dave Jones video (EEVBlog) on this topic htt...

The Leaf inverter will coast to stop if you give zero torque below certain rpm, but at higher rpm it will maintain speed given zero torque command and no external load to the motor. Does the Toyota stuff do the same or does it maintain even, say, 60 rpm? It's nice to be able to cut off the tiny amo...

My mind is blown by JLCPCB. Literally: I just load those files in, click "SMT assembly", pay around $70 and I get 5x assembled boards in the post a few days later? Is it really that simple?? That is incredible. I've been designing and drawing PCB's since crepe tape days :oops: JLCPCB is t...

Thanks.
I've not done any videos - Never mind Cecil B Demille, I'm no Damian when it comes to video making
I'll see what I can do.

We're pretty slow in our project and while I made this board some time ago it's only now about to go into the car .

This is my solution to drive the instrument cluster in my ute conversion. https://github.com/mackelec/SolarUte/tree/master/CAN%20Boards/CANio-18 It is all CAN bus driven - stm32Duino. It will drive the Temperature and Fuel gauges, various dash lights. The tacho is PWM driven (specific to the B2500 u...

I haven't tested the PCB yet - too many projects :D The thing with the Camry Inverter is that not all the Fault and Temp lines have been identified. This is not a problem for my application. If you use my gerbers it will cost $10 or so at JLC to try it out :D The physical dimensions, holes and conne...

Ive been reading issues of STM32 supply with a global backlog. Prior to today, I’ve never heard of Gigadevice, but they could be a potential alternative. I’m not sure I’d risk my inverter on one just yet. I've been watching the cost of stm32F103s go up with each order :( STM32 supply has gone haywi...

I think this begs the question, has anyone actually burned any EV200s or inverters connected to them on bad roads? I certainly haven't heard of it. The datasheet specifies 20G shock and vibration, which is quite a lot. I have updated my results to include hold up voltage with out the economiser. EV...

cars drive in non smooth surfaces. a insufficient hold current, the contractor could “jump” /disconnect if u hit a bump. I have also worried about his, especially since some of the roads I have to use would shake your fillings (dental) out :lol: I agree, the economiser on the EV200 may end up being...

I actually had an intermittent contact problem with an EV200 - they were second hand after all . :) I wanted to know more of their current requirements so I did a little investigation. Initial coil draw 12V is over 3A! But immediately it drops to somewhere around 0.22A which is like 1/2 of draw of b...

The 105 is much more available and from what I can tell a more capable part. I mean I have it pumping out can on two channels, reading analogs, reading digitals , writing digitals , running 3 usarts , dmas, timer pwm timer schedular with 4 timed tasks and the processor load is not even 1% I'm the s...

Thanks to the SAM3X8E microcontroller no longer being stocked by JLCPCB Are you sure? I've been tangentially involved in a project which uses the SAM3X8e, boards received just a few weeks ago. https://jlcpcb.com/parts/componentSearch?searchTxt=sam3x LCSC # C79305 plenty of stock. Still I appreciate...

I made that breakout for other purposes but added the boost control because I could. I've not had any chance to power this board up because of other projects

So I'm sorry I can't advise, but Dilbert makes good sense - I'd like to get a outlander charger but they are not so cheap in Oz.
