Re: Toyota Prius Gen 2 Inverter Controller
Your digikey link just gets me 20 resistors after the website processes. No, I mentioned that. There's an error with those and that's why it comes up with that. Just click the "submit" button to clear the error, and then it takes you to the full shopping list. Hot Dang! Sure enough! Thank...
Re: Introduction and a few basic questions.
Went to the local salvage yard and for $110 plus tax and environmental fee I picked up a Gen 2 and Gen 3 Prius inverters. Now to figure out which to use. I'm inclined for this ATV to start with the cheapest option to run the MGR, which is Damien's solder together board... but the new Johannes board ...

Re: Toyota Prius Gen 2 Inverter Controller
Okay, I'm catching up. The confusion I am having is that "Blue Pill" is a generic electronic component, not an EV specific product, and in the description of the board on the main bare board page it says requires SMD soldering, but that is incorrect. (https://www.evbmw.com/index.php/evbmw-...

Re: Toyota Prius Gen 2 Inverter Controller
Thanks Matt for the clarifications and direction of things to look at. *edit* I feel like this is a dumb and obvious question so bare with me, but does the new Gen 2 controller that just hit the Openinverter shop become the thing to purchase to run the Gen 2 inverters instead of the piece together d...
Re: Introduction and a few basic questions.
Looks like a 2014 Prius just popped into the local junkyard. Will have to go by there this weekend.

Re: Toyota Prius Gen 2 Inverter Controller
Thank you Matt. I'm not put off by the 350 euro price on the Gen 3 board. Looking at webshop, I see my confusion, the difference between "Blue Pill" and "Blue Pill-based". The board is pretty cheap (30 euro!), but does have some SMD soldering work. I need to price the components ...

Re: Toyota Prius Gen 2 Inverter Controller
Don't the bare boards require the small surface mount parts to be installed? I'm not really afraid of assembling a board as I've done the basic solder work on my EFI ECU's (11 years and well over 100,000 miles and going strong), but the small stuff is far more challenging and not sure I have the fin...

Re: Toyota Prius Gen 2 Inverter Controller
I do not see these boards available on the evbmw webstore, are they still available for purchase? My local junkyard has a Gen 2 Prius in it and prices the inverters at $50... so contemplating seeing if the inverter is still in the car and getting it.
Re: Introduction and a few basic questions.
For reference, here is the engine/transmission bay. The engine, transmission and 12v battery be taken out and its pretty much an open area I can install a platform on to make a battery box how ever tall it needs to be. Set the MGR on top and run a chain down to the axle chain drives. Or reverse, put...
Re: Introduction and a few basic questions.
These no suspension soft tired six wheelers get sketchy before 30 km/h, though some run them up over 40 km/h, 60 would be nuts! Like mentioned, I can play with sprocket ratios as needed to further adjust motor versus wheel speed. Thank you for the 2.1 rpm/V number, gives me something to evaluate on ...

Hello, I'm not sure where to start other than I'm a new comer to electric conversions. I've got about ten years under my belt converting my cars from the 60's and 70's to fuel injection using solder together ECU kits. So I know my way around a bit of wiring, a bit of programming and some fabrication...

Re: Getting started - Batteries not included
Huh, I was looking at posting essentially the same question. I've been reading through threads the last couple days. I want to use a Toyota MGR, a Prius Gen 3 or 2 inverter and put it in an medium sized ATV. I'll be following along and try not to hi-jack your thread with my own.
