Re: Prius Gen 3 Inverter Logic Board Support Thread

Is anybody try to start MG1 and MG2 power stages in parallel with six jumpers SJ1-6? How connect three phases outputs? If I connect in parallel to regular outputs, then MG2 current will be measured with regular current sensors, but MG1 current sensors connect to Arduino and MG1 current stay not mea...

Re: CAN Communication Settings

Hello. I have read over and over the CAN message mapping description but still can't achieve a thing. There is this command: can rx canio 300 0 5 32 where I understand 300 is ID and 32 is scaling whatever it does. What is 0 and what is 5? What this command does? Where is the actual CAN message that ...

Re: Help! Prius gen3 inverter using ABZ encoder

Ok so the original UVW encoder is responsible for providing the speed of the car to the speedometer. At first I thought it was the wheel sensors that report the speed but I was wrong. Good that I chose to leave the original encoder in place and mount the sin/cos encoder on top of it. That way I can ...

Re: Throttle Pedal [SOLVED]

Regarding throttle pedal signal. I tried feeding the throttle pedal +5V and ground from a separate source and I only fed signal wire into accelerator input on gen3 prius inverter but this did not work. So it is necessary to power the pedal from the openinverter board also in order for the throttle p...

Re: Help! Prius gen3 inverter using ABZ encoder

RLS encoder you need to select according to the pole count! This is really important so let them know your motor parameters in a comment or message. I think your encoder will be P/N RMF44AC01SA10 and magnet you will select RMM44A3A00. See their online store. https://www.rls.si/eng/rmf44-rotary-magn...

Re: Help! Prius gen3 inverter using ABZ encoder

Long phase cables ring tremendously. Also there are losses in that. You can bring DC power towards inverter wherever you need it, but phase cables... just saying. You're right. I did some googling apparently that is an issue with variable speed drives. Can damage the motor and the leads. However I ...

So, before we go down the modifying path, is there: A) A hardware method to convert this to something more useful to the OI board? B) A software method to understand this signal in the OI software?

Re: Help! Prius gen3 inverter using ABZ encoder

Be aware though you need to use nonferrous bolt. Best use aluminum. Also try it first without magnet so you can devise a sort of locking mechanism. Maybe a counter nut? And when you work with RLS plate be sure to make an interface board that will let RLS slide directly into center. Thanks, I overlo...
