Re: Why won't the leaf motor spin?

Remove CAN from equation. Take the CAN wires off from the load. Are you using CAN throttle? See if you have some CAN parameters set in code. You need to remove them or set them to 0. Thanks Arber333. I do not have a can bus at all. So the throttle is a Prius throttle pedal. I have 5 volts going to ...

Why won't the leaf motor spin?

This is an awesome idea. I am new and trying to figure out what to do step by step. My focus is on Leaf Inverter + Motor not Tesla but obviously have a some of the same questions. Thanks for doing this. Maybe I can add to the Leaf Version as I learn more. I confirmed with Johannes that he would like...

Re: Loresamp

Just checked the resolver code: So it records the minimum and maximum amplitude of the the sin signal. But if the motor is stationary (which it usually is after startup) and happens to be in a position where the sin-amplitude is low, it will assert the LORESAMP warning for no reason. Gotta work on ...

Re: Mainboard V3 FAQ

I am doing the same (on-desk car simulator). I found if I turn on the HV Manually through the pre-charge resister and then the contactor to bypass the pre-charge resister after 10 seconds, I never get PRECHARGE-STOP. And one other on-Bench mystery has been solved, the Warn-LowResAmp. Rotate the moto...

I believe HV connection is not problematic as long as you let it precharge first?
Yes, I always pre-charge first.,

Sequence of Starting up the Inverter with HV

Happily and correctly because of your help clanger9 , zippy500, and celeron55, I connected HV to the Leaf Inverter and nothing blew up. My question is what is the sequence to bring the HV on line with the v3 Controller (I'm and flipping relay switches by hand). I noticed that I can get two different...

If you're not doing so already I recommend you use Damien's HV current limiting technique using a bulb or cooker element. I'm sure one of his videos will show you how :) Thanks Kekvin, If you are referring to limiting current during the pre-charge a few seconds, I have created this two relay circui...

Re: '70 MGB Roadster - 2015 Leaf EM57 powered

no worries about that pin 11, it is already wired to 12V on the adapter board. The resolver wires should be twisted pairs, not twisted family ;) So twist sin- and sin+, cos- and cos+, exc- and exc+ . Also in the original harness they are shielded pair-wise. You could run into noise issues otherwise...

Re: Leaf Invertor DC connections

:shock: You can always use multimeter diode check. One polarity will show a diode forward voltage of 0.3 to 1.2V depending on the inverter. This is the reverse polarity and will be a short circuit if you connect the battery this way. The other polarity will show open circuit after a second of chargi...

Re: Leaf Invertor Plug SIN/COS Connections

As zippy 500 pointed out, twist these pairs and shield the pairs.

the cable pairs from inverte\or plug are

44,45 (MtempP1, MtempP2)
20,21 (Sin+, Sin-)
19,27 (Ex, !Ex)
17,18 (Cos+, Cos-)
