Re: Current control of induction motors
Just a small update on this. The non-regen version continues to work well in my car. I have now tested throtcur up to 8.0 on my SDU, giving a full throttle current of 565A RMS (800A peak) and pushing my car to 60mph in 4.5 seconds :) I also increased fslipweak to 5.0 which gives strong acceleration ...

Re: Zombieverter or Lexus GS450h VCU that is the question.
I think he enabled it for the dino but is unsure about letting it out in case someone drops it into first at to high a speed and the programming does not compensate. I think it is a similar reason for regen i.e. car suddenly reversing. The functionality is there, it works, but there are two big cav...

I was sure the gear change code is in Zombie. Damien used it in his recent dyno run.

Re: Zombieverter or Lexus GS450h VCU that is the question.
Bummer, I only have the zombie verter controller I bought fully built from Damien. As it seemed like it was supposed to be the "better" (ie "supported") system going forward. So I guess I'll need to be very patient as I have no clue how to code... either that or I buy a old vers...

Re: Zombieverter or Lexus GS450h VCU that is the question.
Just to clarify, have you replaced the Zombieverter with the GS450h Inverter controller? Just wanted to ask if you swapped-out a "bad" Toyota board within the inverter? Or if you swapped the Toyota part for an open inverter board? Or if you swapped the Zombie controller board with??? He r...

Re: VX220 Stack Gauge Cluster
I now have the gauges and LCD working nicely with data fed in by the serial port. There are three major things left to do: 1) Look at handling the pulse inputs for the speedo. This isn't essential but I'd prefer to get the speed from the original ABS feed rather than CAN from the drive unit. 2) Look...

Re: Registering and changing tax class of an EV conversion in the UK
So just the R100 testing, not R10 (EMC) as well? Are there any places in the UK which provide these services with the general public / home conversions in mind? Last I heard, such testing was out of reach of the public, designed for car manufacturers, etc. For UK IVA you only need R100. No EMC test...

Re: VX220 Stack Gauge Cluster
Short demo of my initial testing. I'm actually using the wrong stepper pattern here (4 step instead of 6). Will implement the correct step pattern soon and test different speeds for missed steps.

Re: VX220 Stack Gauge Cluster
Have you had to do a dual stage bootloader or can the 68HC11 one program the external RAM directly? The built-in loader can only load 256 bytes of code to the integrated RAM, so I will need to build a two-stage loader to enable the external RAM then load more code there. So far, I haven't had to do...

Re: VX220 Stack Gauge Cluster
That is one complex gauge cluster! Not off topic at all, vehicle integration is very welcome. Would it fit in any of the OEM categories? Maybe should add a "Miscellaneous" one :) Yes, it would make more sense in the OEM forums. I think it would be a good idea to make a "Misc OEM"...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking
If you attempt to run it on a Tesla Model 3 drive unit it is trivial to brick the drive unit and render it completely inoperable. Once bricked it is impossible to fix at this point in time. DO NOT attempt to use this code in Tesla Model 3 / Y drive units unless you are an experienced embedded softw...

Re: Communicating with the Lexus GS450h Inverter/Converter
Damien did a differential measurement (attached). Looks like it's 2V differential and returns to zero, which seems awful, but if that's what it is and it works, great! I would prefer to see the individual signals with reference to GND to confirm, so will do my own measurements too. It does seem like...

Re: Communicating with the Lexus GS450h Inverter/Converter
The board appears to use a proprietary transceiver, a DENSO SE617. There is no datasheet for this unit. I guessed the pin names from examination of the board. I have a question about this.

Re: Tesla LDU HV wiring
When I power on, BOTH main and pre-charge contactors close. On start, they both open. So it seems the pre-charge contactor is performing as it should but the main is just mimicking the pre-charge.

Re: Tesla LDU HV wiring
How do I do this? I don't see an option for a numerical input. Do you mean to select the first option in the drop down menu? The correct mode is called "DcSwOn". This keeps the contactors closed during a fault, which sounds strange, but is the safest option for protecting your hardware. H...
