Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
Looks very familiar .
Gen 2 transaxle is great, but bulky and heavy for small fwd. You will need 2 adapter boards if the aim is Mg1 and Mg2. If you want to go real cheap, yaris inverter and Damiens dual motor board, but you then need to modify motor cabling to inverter. Choices, choices.

Cool, looks like we'll be doing the exact same thing: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=650

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
I read you wrote "Prius transmission would be beneficial for registering, because no EMC testing is required. But I think it is too tall to fit,"
I measured it and I didn't find any issues to fit it. I plan to center Prius transmission, weld Prius driveshafts to A2 driveshafts.
Was planning to start making mounting brackets this weekend, but my workshop is in now restricted area because of immigrants from Belarus (declared state of emergency)

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
I would like to use only MG2, remove MG1 from transaxle to reduce weight.

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
Been thinking the same. Even better, make a blank off plate and remove Mg1 completely. More space for batteries etc. All that said, dual motor is a good option too, for larger vehicles. I'm scratching my head for rwd that could welcome a transaxle. Combi comes to mind
Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
After long time made small steps forward.
Decided to put VCU into original ECU housing and use audi ecu connectors.
Car moves. Now need to fine tune SyncOffset and put Volt Gen2 battery pack.

Audi throttle pinout:
First sensor 1 (24 on ecu) is +5V, 5 (19 on ecu) is Gnd, 6 (33 on ecu) is signal;
Second sensor 2 (43) is +5V, 3 (18 on ecu) is Gnd, 4 (15 on ecu) is signal;

Shaft were made from Audi external and Prius internal shafts. Welded together with additional pipe pressed on them together.

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
This was test on backwards direction could easily spin wheels on some snow till it melted snow and heated tyres . Lots of power. But i am not happy. Need to make forward go forward.
Also in video rear had like 300+ Kg of lead batteries. Now it is lithium- more light.

What do you mean the car moves forward in the video?This was test on backwards direction could easily spin wheels on some snow till it melted snow and heated tyres . Lots of power. But i am not happy. Need to make forward go forward.

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
So it's just the label that bug you? Because otherwise there is no difference between fwd and rev

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
Really? There were some comments that this should not be used as this.
Is all the regens etc also working the same on reverse?

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
There is a setting johu knows so you can swap the firing of the phases I think that will do the trick. I agree that fwd in software should be forward of the car.

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
Guys, there is too much miscommunication. If Johu (master of this system) now wrote that moving forward on reverse is OK, then i will continue this way.
If there was any setting that would swap phases for direction, i believe Johu would already wrote it. It is not the same as pinsawp for correct current measurement.
What i will try to do- i will try to play with resolver to get angle rising not falling.

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
To my knowledge all tesla SDU people have to do that, same story there. Regen works the same in reverse.

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
Roger. Thats it. I will not try anymore to swap direction.
Tomorrow will make test rides and will continue on canbus messages to audi to make everything work.
SyncOfs is something 10000-11000. Now set at 10300.
Second offset is around 43000 but wheels have almost no power. All good when wheels in air, but no movement on the ground.
So i could say there is only one correct offset..

Re: Audi A2 with Prius Gen2
some test on the snow. Summer tires with no traction.
Also could make burnouts on the concrete.
Removed fuel tank, exhaust, fuel lines. In general nothing is left from the petrol system.
My wife gonna kill me. Its too cold and i think i am going to get ill
