Hi Forum. I got a message today regarding the new MOT rules. Seems vehicles may be checked every 2 years possibly in the near future. However the part that mentions EV battery checks for safety etc could pose a problem for us who have built our own packs and not had any inspections done. Or we may j...

Hi Rikard. If you are thinking of adding TVS I would use bidirectional as spikes could happen with drive and regen possibly so current flow is in either direction.
Jump in anyone if you have thoughts please.

Hi Rikard. Stick with Tripmode 1, is still the best idea without doubt.

Hi Forum. For anyone interested I took the top off my PHEV heater.... cos I am nosey
Pics reveal heater connections etc.

Maybe a car or motorbike wheel, tyre filled with water for extra load ? I can machine a hub to fit your motor if that will work ?

Thanks to all who replied, now got a charger

Thanks arber333. I will look into the options

Hi Forum. Does anyone have a working Brusa NLG513 for sale please ? Thanks. Peter

Hi Techshop. Sorry, I wrongly assumed you were in the UK Good luck.

Hi Techshop. I think you may need to double check first if a custom subframe is acceptable when it comes to an inspection (or not called for hopefully )

If we send Gome cat and his daddy some Christmas pressies will that help keep you both here ? Seriously though you have been and are indeed an inspiration Damien. Your skills for reverse engineering and design are second to none and without you the forum would be missing a king pin. From my perspect...

Hello 2013coss.
I see from your message you based in the North West. If so which town please? I am in Blackburn. All the best. Peter

Increasing Boost and decreasing Fweak puts you further into a possible overcurrent event.
With the intermittent issue you are having I would start plotting values and record them.
Did you have the exact same overcurrent issues with the previous inverter ?

You could try setting udcnom to 0 so it does not adjust anything whilst testing.
I agree with catphish, Boost seems low.
In my setup your Fweak setting would be too low and cause overcurrent so I raise Fweak and raise Boost to compensate for a good start off the line.

Hi Roger. Sadly no luck. I posted a new message on the forum suggesting we fund the build of a bespoke inverter that could replace an SDU etc inverter but so far no takers

I wonder if the DVLA read our forum ? Could be... thats why they have the answers before we ask !
Big brother is watching us.... wonder if he drives an EV ?

Very interesting, wonder what they will say if you send a copy with your application ?

Hi Forum. As the last funding exercise for a 3D printer was such a success I was wondering if SDU owners (and those with defunct SDU inverters) would be willing to fund a Openinverter designed SDU replacement ? If enough of us agree would anyone be willing to take on the task? Would be great if we h...

Unplugged engine ECU to see if it affected anything, wipers, indicators, lights etc, all work ok. Obviously now have engine warning light on dash but thats ok for now.

Thanks EV_Builder. Its a 2011 year.

Hi RiPower. Please list your full parameter set so we can see idcmax, iacmax, etc etc

Excellent, thanks for organising the fund raiser Robert, a great idea you had
I would like a Lambo, could you sort that please

Whats happening with the fund raiser ? Has the target been reached ?

Once you have the 3D printer Damien.... Your first challenge is to print a 3D printer

Hi Forum. Has anyone got info on the Mito CAN bus please? I am looking to EV the car but sort the CAN first once ICE removed. Thanks.
