Tried selecting neutral whilst rolling with no throttle applied and did not regen, just coasted. Same with small amount of throttle. Hope that helps.

Hi Charlie. I will do a test this evening by selecting neutral when rolling with no throttle and again with a little throttle to see what happens. For reference I have regen set up so it is only working when brake is pressed, so backing off throttle gives no regen, that way I can coast when off thro...

Well played Bigpie, I will vote for you when Boris goes

Try changing slipstart to 100. That means no slip until 100% throttle.

Be careful of over revving motor as it has no mechanical load. What is the motor rating ?
Reduce throtramp to 0.5 or lower if you wish and try again, motor should ramp up slowly.
AC fuses probably cant take the current, so ramping slowly may help for testing.
Above fweak the current will rise.

Suggest increase fweak to 220 and try.
Reduce throtramp to 5.

Continuing your message Charlie... I have spent a lot of time trying to locate inverters for the SDU to no avail. The only way is to buy another complete SDU, £1750 seems the norm. We really need to have a look at repairing them or developing a similar stand alone inverter. From what I have read and...

100 mile range depending on how much 'fun' you are having

Well played Charlie, £500 for many horsepowers is a bargain

Nice going Charlie, soon to be chasing my Smart

Hi Manny. Would it be possible to have a copy of your Arduino software to test please? Thanks. Peter

Good, will have a fully charged battery and disposable underwear ready

An ex-Warrington resident, never mind. If you are ever 'Up North' again you are welcome to scare the pants off yourself with my Smart

Well done and a big thank you for your efforts. I am sure your perseverance with the strip down will help others who may need to try to repair the power stage etc. Looking forward to seeing whats under the pcb.

Hi Pete9008. Shame your budget isnt higher. You are correct, limited wheelies with 0-60 in 4 secs
However 70Kw will be very quick so I imagine you will be a happy chap when its up and running.
Where are you based?
Good luck with the build.

Hi Pete9008. I have an SDU in my Smart 450, go the whole nine yards and upset many very expensive cars

Would be interesting to see if DVLA allowed a reduction or zero rated the VED if someone fitted a modern low CO2 emission engine to a gas guzzler ? That might prove a case possibly ?
Could it be DVLA are basing their decisions on the first registration of the vehicle after manufacture ?

Hi Gary. I am near Osbaldeston so not too far away. Two main questions, whats your budget and range required? Peter

Hello Gary. Where are you in the North West ? I may be local to you. Peter

Does Ampnom allow power to motor when throttle is not pressed with fwd or rev selected? But not when in neutral ?

Hi Forum. Any help appreciated please, happy to pay shipping from outside UK. Thanks. Peter

Hi Manny. Look on the Battery Management section under New bms for bq76...., catphish has a board that can do all. Peter

Hi Forum. Can the inverter (with Openinverter control board) be run without encoder for bench testing using a small 3 phase induction motor driven fan as load ?

Hi qmedia2651. I am looking for a replacement inverter, could you let me know who may have one please ? Thanks. Peter

Thanks Johannes. No need to worry about 0v wire break when full throttle would become 5v then as it’s already covered by software.
