Please plot the Potnom value, this should rise with the throttle position. Does the value for dir change to Foward when you pull forward high?

It has its full power, Zero-EV has had multiple motors and we can confirm the RAV-4 or B-class motors are electrically identical to Tesla Model S units.

Damien, as always great having the time to chat with you and exchange some ideas and laughs.

The panser is looking sweet, only thing I would say you need is to get the damm BMS sorted. I am sure you will have something soon

A quick thing i noticed in the video, Damien says his battery is full yet the station still gets requested to pump 125Amps into the car and then shuts down. This is a very rudimentary way of controlling the end of charge, or actually not controlling it at all. I would expect current to taper, reques...

Is there any sort of info available on which bms systems it currently support and if the code will be made available to be modified by individuals?

Charging is already done when you drive an input high, it sends the appropriate can bus and drives a relay output.

I need to find some time to make the new design, currently really busy at work. Got so many nice projects going on there.

I’d argue even a setting of 1 is too fast for aggressive regen. I almost feel like we would benefit from greater resolution by increasing the time period of the ramp per 100ms instead of 10ms in the settings. Yes I would second that, or have it take 0.1 increments. A bit more control over the ramp ...

You should set the brake ramp low, just like the throttle. Unless you want your rear wheels to lock up on a tesla motor.

Its just using the teensy onboard serial. https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_uart.html The nextion display is there to show pack stats, it does not show all cell voltages as that is too much. The interface is only one way, as in the bms populates the info on the display and the display does not send any...

There is a two can bus version coming using teensy 3.6

I have been quite actively developing a system that would allow the reuse of existing bms slaves from OEM vehicles, as documented on DIYelectricCar forum. This has been received very well, especially by the solar storage community. All the coding is open sourced, as this allows others to add more OE...

For Sale: BMS Master: SIMP-BMS Some might have seen this on DIY electric car forum, this is a little project of mine that allows the reuse of existing slave boards from OEMs. All the coding is open sourced, any new ideas or control features (chargers or BMS slaves) are welcomed. Not sold via myself ...

I have had bad experiences with this BMS, known by a few as the killer bms.

Have you checked for any cells at 0V? These batteries are known to die when not in a char and being charged regularly.

Adding onto the encoder cable, if you ever have issues getting a stable spinning motor, Always plot your rpm/Fstat as if that is really jumpy it means the encoder signal is dirty.

Shielded cable is a must, without it the encoder pulses are not clean enough.

The brake input, creates a negative throttle so regen command. I would strongly suggest otherwise as this can cause unexpected behaviour. Please look at making sure you get the watchdog running in your UNO, as this application will not want any of those nasty arduino lock up issues. https://folk.uio...

How much power have you put through it? Any idea of the achievable efficiencies?

Contrary to that, the chargers are fused. see the High Voltage Junction Box https://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=681&pictureid=4625 Kevin you even uploaded the PCB schematic yourself. You should always fuse an HV source, so if your charger can produce HV fuse it. You should ...

So much effort to turn on a light bulb. But hats off to you, another one in the bag.

You have not managed to blow one up yet? That is quite impressive.

Does each component/section look like it could be a standalone part? I would believe they share quite a lot amongst their various models.

I use my Fluke 115 everyday, never will i go back to a none auto ranging meter.

As a test I bought an OWON B35T+, a bluetooth multimeter that also does standalone logging. Having had some expensive meters capable of just that at work it was an indispensable tool for the role I had.

Great project, good to so some use my BMS in another frankenstein. How easy is it to reconnect the Pacifica cells? Also are there any heat spreaders in those modules Pacifica? Did you check the temp sensor whether it is close to the same as a model S pack, as you need to know how hot these are getti...

Wonder how much of that Tesla power that light car can really stick down on the tarmac.

That could be a lotus europa for all we know.

We need more pictures. That drive unit looks like its made to fit that frame.

So they use SWCAN instead of the CP? That is interesting but then again quite a pain in the ass interms of being compatible.

These little boxes also want to know the vin of your car and name of your first born?

Would you not consider while charging to use the shunts to somewhat pull the top cells down towards the end of charge?
Or are you planning on running a charge till one hits full and the stop charging balance and then restart charge when cells are under a certain value?
