An entire MG ZS EV component set with no reverse. Could be useful for someone.

Looked through the canbus logs and figured out the rough patterns. These are the two important messages from what I can tell. 0x3F3 ID from Tester to gear selector Byte 0. 5C in park, 7C for not parked 1. 66 in park, 24 in R, 25 in N, 24 in D 2. Cycling value in any state, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06...

Not sure on the year, but model number is BH42-7E453-AJ. I did have success playing back the Gen 1 Logs with 0x312. Raises the knob, lets me rotate it, changes lights, but doesn't lower again, even playing back awake lower knob. Edit: looks like 0x3F3 is the only message needed to unlock the knob an...

I've figured out most of the pinout for the 12 pin connector: 1. 12v main feed 2. Ign 3. 4. 5. Can H 6. Can L 7. 8. 9. 10.12v 11. 12. Gnd On mine once I connect the ignition I get messages on the canbus and the backlight. ID 0x312 at about 20ms intervals. Canbus log attached. Sending the messages to...

To give a rough idea on range with a truck like that. The ECC Defenders get around 2 miles per kWh. I think on vehicle solar charging might be a bit of a challenge, might have to question if it is worth it or not as well. Have a look at the size of say a 200w solar panel, then figure out how many yo...

Welcome to the forums! I do love to hear about Land Rover builds. I have a Land Rover 110 in the conversion queue at the moment, but it’s a year or so off. Needs a lot of chassis welding first. Never knew the LT230 could be converted to be 2wd/4wd selectable before I googled it after reading your po...

I visited the Haynes motor museum today. The chargers are pod points, 35p/kWh currently which isn't that bad. They are around the side of the main car park so sort of out of the way. It seemed pretty deserted today, but then January is hardly peak tourism season. The museum itself is quite interesti...

There are some general purpose input and output pins on the Zombieboard. So I would imagine it would be a case of figuring out what inputs the heater needs, then if there are available pins on the Zombie coding a module to run that heater. You could use one of the spare analog in pins to control tem...

Good point about the Leaf BMS CAN bus. I hadn't planned to have the two connected. Might it broadcast something that would cause the inverter to shut down? I don't know but would be concerned it might not play nice with Damiens VCU. I'm probably over thinking it but until the shunt arrives I think ...

You are right that the BMS will give pack voltage and I can see it on Leafspy but for now anyway the BMS is not installed. When I transfer everything to the new car I will try to reinstate it but for now I have to control my precharge with a timer which is not a great way to do it. Also I have no i...

Would this be suitable? https://ebay.us/nOdiaH I'm assuming it is 500A which is more than enough for my car. Edit: From what I can see it has no voltage sense outputs, am I right? I'm being stupid, your BMS should be spitting out the pack voltage onto canbus which would be a much easier way to do i...

Hi guys I have been working on this (at my usual snails pace) and last night discovered that the default software for this VCU works a treat with my Freelander. I guess it's not that surprising since BMW owned LR at the time my car was built and Damien set it up for an E46. I already knew the accel...

The Peugeot 208e/Corsa-E/whatever else PSA puts those in 50kWh packs are 108s.

Not really much focus on conversions anymore apart from a couple of the more established commercial companies. But still an interesting event.

That's great news thanks. Have you tried it with a 7kW home charger? And how did you make the PP connection? Like I said it made no difference if I had it connected to ground via a resistor or just floating. Only have the granny charger for the moment. I would expect a 7kw wall charger to give the ...

Using a Nissan Leaf Granny charger I am charging at 2175kW or around 9A ac and 5A dc. This is pretty slow but for now is fine. Someday in the future I may look for a way to speed up the charging. I get the same speed with my Outlander charger and a granny charger. Can get around 8-9A DC when chargi...

The rear of the tractor is pretty much done now. Rebuilt brakes and replaced leaking half shaft seals. Removed the engine and the power steering which is going to be replaced by hydrostatic steering, taking up less room. This shows most of the room I have in the front of the tractor. I am planning t...

Has anyone else found their Tesla slave boards not balancing with SIMP? I've had my setup in for a couple months now and sorted out all the issues I had with voltage readings, which was caused by poor soldering of cell taps onto the boards. I have played around with the balance settings quite a bit,...

Nice! I was about to ask when you might have new adaptors in stock as well.

I'm up for a meetup. East Somerset Based.

I have also been considering hosting a small meet-up at the farm next year. Could provide a field for camping for an evening. Would have to be after 1st of July though due to farming reasons.

Deep into the strip down and restoration at the moment. Looks like the rust is actually quite minimal and most of it is on body panels that are cheap and easy to replace. For some reason there is a bit of a cult for these tractors and spare parts are commonly remade and available. I have pondered th...

Made a page but getting called away for the day so I only manage to throw up some part numbers.

Hm... do they have a sticker? What does it say? Is it really the SPLB100216216? I consider Kokam cell superior to equivalent capacity Liion cell. I haven't been able to find anything on the cells to indicate what they are. I have emailed the original seller of these to see if he has any records sti...

Any information on the cell model or power/energy rating? Datasheet?

I don't have much information on them bar their origin. This datasheet looks about right compared to the 53ah cells I had.

Selling for a friend. 40Ah Kokam pouch cells. Same batch as most of the other Kokam cells that have been on here before. They are currently in boxes of six 10s modules to make up 60s. Can sell in 10s but by the box is preferred. 4 boxes in total. £6 per cell. Located in Somerset, UK. Can probably sh...
