Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

Change the -6 for more torque So do i go less than -6? Ok like if the higher number makes more torque? ... Hm... should i increase this condition for throttle position too? if (throttlePosition > 6) { torqueRequest = throttlePosition * 6; // lets make the pedal less responsive *6 inverterFunction =...

Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

All three can bus work fine for me. One balancer did not respond well to requests, I replaced it. Tnx i will look into why i cant get any traffic on the lines... On the other hand i see very little torque in reverse. Today i tested this driving in a small hill. It was embarrasing :(. How to up this...

Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

Now finally everything works as it should with VCU. I got good acceleration, good regen response, Nice reverse drive and everything connected to Outlander components is operating aas it should. Acceleration at 13s now. I managed 11s with large torque swings, but it was not comfortable. I setup all a...

Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

Ok so I think we can say your application does not need any ramping to control wheelspin. I would suggested removing it and simplifying the code, your fork is quite far from mine now so It's hard to debug any issues you are having I would be interested to see if you can actually command (and get) m...

I recommend to you that during troubleshooting you wire your DC contactor through latching circuit.

Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

I made some effort to play with map3 and changed some values at the first section up to 2500rpm from 7 to 15! This notably increased responsiveness from takeoff. At second try i got 14.4s to 100km/h. I am sure i could do even better....

Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

Could be a library mis match or something Exactly! I found in code were a lot of int declaration for EEPROM items. I had to change them to uint8_t on smaller values and uint16_t for larger values like tpshighOffset. Now values were holding after reset albeit like 339 instead of 340... I also raised...

There is another issue i noticed. Whenever i removed power from VCU it wouldnt load EEPROM values! This means that if i reset VCU somehow i may get stuck with throttle way out of calibration. Is there a solution for that maybe? Or would i need to install EEPROM chip on my teensy board? I dont have e...

Re: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV heater

I was thinking of feeding the air that goes into the cabin over the coolant heater. Physics says air is not a good medium to transpost heat. You would do better if you would isolate the heater from outside and put a heat exchanger into a battery compartment. Possibly a heater matrix from a small ca...

Re: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV heater

Have you been able to use any of the heat coming from the heater casing? I was wondering about routing the air feed for the heater fan past the heater as there is so much wasted heat coming from it. What do you mean by that? Use the heat for heating the battery by air? You could use the lower tubes...

Re: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV heater

To my amazement I managed to do it right first time and it just works. Nicely done. I am glad it worked right away. having a pot to adjust the temperature seems like a good idea, even if it is only until I figure out what the ideal temperature is. Yes i had to test the end temperature a couple of t...

I like the water / refrigerant direction because you can cool or heat the battery as needed. That is well and good for single box. It may as well be integrated into the box itself with small 700W Volt battery coolant heater... But i have 2 separete battery boxes and possibility for a third... this ...

Going the air cooled, flowing through the inside of the battery box route, are you worried about humidity or corrosive spray getting into the battery box? Exactly! It is a tradeoff. On one hand you get simple airflow to cool the batteries as they drive and charge. Former is more effective so it is ...

I also consider actively venting the box if temperatures go too high. I am thinking of fitting a blower fan to each box in a suction way. I.e. air is sucked via the length of the box and expelled at some hole in the sides. For that i will have to make several holes on one side of the box for the ai...
