Rev3 for Gen2

Post by alehandro »

Hello, Johannes! I have a working Rev3 board, I plan to drive it with a Gen2 prius. And after reading the forum thread, I realized that Rev3 (out of the box) without modification is not able to directly control the Gen2 inverter. Is this really the case?

The PWM output levels don't match. So you need to add e.g. an ULN2003 as buffer. There is also some glue logic needed for other signals like current sensors. It would be easier to just go for the dedicated Prius board.

Let's say I screwed up with the choice of an inverter for Rev3. The question was not long in coming, which inverter can I revive from Rev3 directly without adapter boards? Sometimes it is easier to replace the inverter)
