Nice one Johannes, enspiring video!

Thanks again MattsAwesomeStuff. That clears up alot for me. I'm trying to understand as much as possible before commiting to iether a Damien Board or Johannes Rev 2/3. I see there's more than just 'plug and play' to this now.

Is this why the Gen 2 inverter is a less viable /hackable option? The Gen 3 seems less complicated with everything Damien and Johannes have done lately - fully populated boards with all the bells and whistles... I'll ask anyway, is there no way to 'reverse engineer' the Gen 3 board to suite Gen 2? 🔨...

Thanks for the questions MattsAwesomeStuff, it's blurry for me too. Probably because I am not from an electrical backround, so 'simple mans' langauge from you is helping me understand.

Wiki updated to hopefully clear up any mis-communications. The German summary was a very useful base

I have yet to find a complete build with Gen 2 transaxle to understand all the additional parts . Will look into current sensors this weekend and try to understand FOC.

Sorry, I meant after coughing up 30 000€ for compliance, and having it done by a registered company, the 'rest' is pretty much the same. Will modify wiki to clear that up. I am planning on a build with gen 2 inverter and transaxle and presenting it for compliance through my company I am setting up. ...

So just to make sure I understand, Prius has Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, thus NOT induction. So need FOC and current sensors to run the Gen 2 inverter and transaxle?

I will go wiki hunting instead of asking the obvious question... (give a man a fish 🐠) I wrote 95% of the wiki and all of this current sensor stuff is over my head and not something I'd gotten to in my build yet. You won't find your answer there, or, far as I know, written down anywhere else. This ...

I feel the same - way out of my depth with current sensor stuff. Glad there are some professors of electronics to work on them.

First Update of French regulations is now in wiki. In short, practically identicle to German rules, WITH around 30000€ homologation testing AND no one off 'personal builds' allowed. Only registered and authorised companies to carry out conversions.

Sorry if this is a stupid question....( Been trying to find the info this afternoon), To control the Gen 2 inverter, there is either the non populated Damien board (at present) , and order parts according to BOM, or Rev 3 Inverter kit from Johannes (populated), with wifi included? Starting to get a...

To control the Gen 2 inverter, there is either the non populated Damien board (at present) , and order parts according to BOM, or Rev 3 Inverter kit from Johannes (populated), with wifi included? Starting to get a little overwhelming with everything to anticipate and order, but so exciting too. 😁🙉 ...

Please don't give up. All that work done to get Gen 2 operating (like the Gen 3) is so near. And you are almost 'done'.

Looks good and helps with testing.

Will get on to it soon. Distracted by a Gen 2 transaxle and inverter that's in the boot of my van since yesterday evening

Ooooh, I want one of those populated boards Looks good and ready for play.
Any way I could order one Damien?

As of Friday 03 April, conversions from thermic to electric is now legal! There are a few companies setting up to convert various types of Véhicules, with the cheapest for the moment around 11000€. Some big hurdles to jump over though, but I will translate and put a summary in the discussion. Check ...

Bummer, it's a Gen 2 - not a simple 'plug and play'. However, this helps with moving R&D forward to have a nice logic board. Seems lots of people working on minor problems to make Damiens' work around/Johannes Brain board even better, so hopfully I can add my 2 cents on practical side. Do you kn...

I am planning the transaxle to be motor and gearbox in one. Just found out, the donor véhicule is a Gen 3. Checking out the differences that could have, besides the logic board drop-in being way more simple

You guys are really on to it. Well done considering the context. I am trying to put together a similar project, so will follow closely and hope I can eventually assist towards D.I.Y Manual for Prius Transaxle conversions. For the moment in France, batteries cannot be second hand, hence a huge barrie...

Yes, Transition One has big plans, as long as they leave the nice prius transaxles for the moment, I'm happy.....

A picture might help - hopefully I've got this right!

Thanks for being on to it clanger9.

Hi there Johnspark, seems you are making progress, how ever slow it might feel. I'm about to purchase a Gen 2 Prius for the same type of project. Would be great to know about your axle made between MG1 and MG2. From what I see, it is safe to say locking MG1 and MG2 will not cause overspin of MG1? Pr...
