Re: HOWTO: Flashing ESP8266

So I solved this issue by soldering a new board and making sure I get a blue pill with a genuine STM32. Which of them was the actual culprit I don't know, but now I have the parameters in the web interface and everything works out of the box. I know for sure that the first Blue Pills came with clone...

Re: Prius Gen2 adapter board development thread

I currently wonder if an adapter board is the way forward or whether a bespoke Prius board would be better. After all it just means copy and pasting the V3 design and adding some components around it. Manufacturing-wise the adapter board needs to be made separately anyway. Any way this could be inc...

Re: Contactors for sale

These do need some kind of economiser setup. Simplest would be something like this: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=531&hilit=economizer.

At 14V they draw about 7W and get quite hot. They release at about 1.5V. At 3V they draw only about 0.3W and don't heat up at all.

Re: Toyota Prius Gen 2 Inverter Controller

I suppose i could design rev2 board for Gen2 inverter using initial Olimex STM32-H103 chip. I could use Damiens data and schematics, keeping faithfully to the same pinout. But i dont have any Gen2 inverter here to test it. Everything i would do would have to be tested by someone who has it. Would y...

Re: Prius Gen 2 inverter logic board

JLCPCB only populates Surface Mount components which are mostly pain to solder by hand. Gen2 is through hole only (with the idea that this is easy to do for people like me at home and the only component not available as through hole, the stm32, is on the dirt cheap blue pill) and JLCPCB does not do ...

I’ve been offered them at a fairly reasonable price.
