Re: I just bought a Mitsubishi Outlander charger. - Now What?

I just received another heater myself. Its good to have spares. With Outlander parts its simple replacement if something goes wrong.

I used to write Aircraft Maintenance Programs for a living. I will simply add new component page to Mazda manual :).

. If it feels like a seesaw over bumps at certain speeds the suspension frequency is off. This is kind of old school for suspension tuining but it works well.

Re: 1984 Voltswagen Rabbit Prius Gen 3

If any of you can recommend some adjustable shocks/springs I would really appreciate it. I used 3cm alu pads with rear shocks as my EV weight distribution changed from 68:32 to 50:50. It caused a weird front axle geometry and funny drive trough turns. When i put the pads at the rear the front actua...

Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

After some serious driving with Outlander VCU, for more than 200km stretch... i may share some thought about this VCU. Teensy works really well when it works inside its loop. That means when VCU is activated and car is in FWD or RWD mode drive is very smooth, no jumps or glitches. Torque is somewhat...

Inverter actually doesnt care where it is located. You could actually connect 2 inverter to a single battery and...

I need to apply some filtering other than in code really as much of it is of no interest and maintaining 10 msec update on the 285 is a challenge with the dash update True.

Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

The tone function has another parameter: pulse duration. tone(pin, frequency, duration) And also in your code, line 2026 "tone(OUT9, 3000); " what is it for? You need to enable hardware PWM. The code already contains the library #include "Teensy_PWM.h" frequency = 10000.0f; PWM_...

Re: Outlander VCU - Rear inverter, Charger and BMS

Am I understanding this thread correct you are able to command 280Nm from the stock inverter? I assume that means that you are exceeding the stock 60kw power output? Or is it just hitting 60kw at lower rpm? (I assume current is recorded from the shunt?) Not yet. I reset it back to 230Nm. I managed ...
