*checks*

... You, did not.

And no worries. Just copy/paste the code into the page I linked above. It'll be done.

For safety of course you wouldn’t want to ever “push” the trailer more than the tow vehicle is pulling Ehn, there's been some back and forth about this. To my mind, it's no different than braking while the trailer pushes. To others, it's a catastrophe waiting to happen and the sky will fall if you ...

I'm not sure that cutting springs was the correct solution here. I'm fuzzy on it, but, IIRC cutting springs does 2 things: 1 - For the same weight on the spring, it starts lower. Obviously, as you cut a ring off. 2 - For the same weight on the spring, it's stiffer (17% stiffer in your case, because ...

Hmm, not sure if you intended to do this, but... You didn't use the page I created. You created a really long page called "Operating the buck/boost converter for a low voltage CCS charging application" And as a standalone article, it's not clear what "the" buck/boost converter is...

Well... First up, keep in mind that you're probably not losing slow speed acceleration. Even with low voltage you'll still have some pep there. You'll be losing your higher speed acceleration. 22kw is enough to maintain highway speed, but not enough to get to highway speed. ... For the same cost, ar...

I am not clear on 'where' I should document this. Well like many open source projects, the Wiki is a Do-Ocracy. Those willing to do the work decide how it should be done. I would create a... nevermind... Do-ocracy, I'll just do it rather than tell you how you should do it... This page... https://op...

"Springy Boingy type or whatever you guys call those things." They did, in fact, not call it those things. ... Any chance that the diesel that came out of it weighed a lot more than some gas version or the same, that might have smaller springs? ... The answer to me is clear. As your lead f...

Again, look at the amount of info you've shared, and put yourself in the shoes of someone troubleshooting for you. Could you have troubleshot a similar task with that small of information? I don't know how to solve your problem, but I can only imagine that the people able to do this, their first que...

When in doubt, when you want people to help you troubleshoot, info dump.

Take clear pictures of your setup.

Show your settings.

we are always on the lookout for a Lead Fabricator You're aware that I "machined" a coupler by spinning it up full speed on the motor, and then easing a 7" circular saw blade into it yes? Somewhere, deep down inside, you have standards. They're there, I know they are. And mine are lo...

Btw, what was pedal #2? I hacked my straight Prius pedal into almost exactly that shape because I didn't know there was something like that out there.

Redundancy?

Double their voltage handling?

@MattsAwesomeStuff - I promised to update wikis / share what I've been doing so I'm ready to that, such as it is. I don't want to go editing the wiki without some hand holding, I don't want to screw anything up ... 1 - Every edit is tracked and reversible. So no worries. 2 - You can "preview&q...

wait... is there a video of damien using the dc board?? Bench test, not vehicle test. But yes. also nick's website appears to be offline now sad....... Oh what a shame. Archive.org has it, but no pics. I'll repost text. Has some character/translation issues from the spanish keyboard settings but it...

MIVB and MIWB can just remain unconnected at the inverter end. Thank you for confirming. If I have time I'll go hook MIVA and MIWA up tonight! :) Not an expert with some firmware as I’ve never used it, I thought the v/hz based firmware doesn’t require current sensor feedback? Require, no, as, I've ...

My sympathies and do post what caused it when you figure it out. Always curious for closure.

2 New Questions! Question 1: Now that I've got my current sensor circuit ready, I was about to connect it tonight and then I had a moment of hesitation because I know the diagrams have been wrong before. There are 8 total current measuring wires in the Prius wiring harness. 4 of those are for MG1, ...

That shouldn't be necessary. I think I used up my last D1 Mini or I'd just click "program" and mail it to you. It's 30 seconds of effort. I'm not sure I'm much help, I basically needed non-stop handholding the whole way, but, where'd you get stuck? What instructions did you follow? Take a ...

I posted about this a bit on the DIY EC forums. Because you can buy EV200 contactors from batteryhookup.com for $12.50 (Christmas sale), I was figuring that was so damned cheap I'd just use them for almost everything I'd need switched rather than go with some elegant solution. Some people were pooh ...

Actual picture of the actual bracket... image.png image.png Another 5 hours today. If I had a lift? No problem. Walk under the car with a drill, drill out 4 holes, they'll be perfect the first time, 5 minutes, 1 minute per hole plus a little assembly, job done. Without a lift? Blindly scrape at the ...

*eyes the room nervously*

Surely Greg won't finish 2 EVs before I get mine rolling.

6.5 hours to de-ice. I spent 6.5 hours yesterday not even finishing a single bracket yet.

And Greg edits far slower than he works. So this is all long in the past.

*goes back to work on that bracket...*

If nothing is selected you get a message. Oh, hmm. I hate this. Like, for example, if you try to quote right from the start of someone's post, but you're off by a few pixels, then it starts selecting their avatar and the stuff in the left column, or the title, instead of just the start of the text ...

So some weeks into the experiment, how do you get along now? I don't mind abbreviated quoting. No one should really quote that long. The quote button just jumping to the bottom right is a pain in the ass. And then having to close it again later. I've never used the select then quote feature, I don'...

Did you miss the part about the way that Pick N Pull uninstalls the inverters using a machete Oh, I figured that was some previous scrapper. The rule of Junkyards is, if it would take you 10 seconds longer to not damage a $500 component... don't waste your time. Hey, you know what would make it a t...

Ugh.

The penalty for urgency. Otherwise, Pick N Pull would have them around for $15.

Then again I'm 5 years into my summer project and you're actually getting stuff done, so, $100 here and there is cheap progress.
