Is it worth trying to use this prius brain board?

Post by Ruudi S »

Hello

I got prius inverter board from user jnsaff. I have read the wiki and watched Damian videos about using prius brain board and his version was not that complicated like mine. Now I am thinking that maybe this is the dual motor version? Has anybody used it? Is it worth trying to get the parts and solder it all together? Actually I am thinking of buying Auris or Yaris inverter because of the lower price but I am not sure if it's the right decision, then I need new inverter mainboard. I need to drive a motor from Renault PHEV car so my understanding based on openinverter wiki is that I cannot make the toyota inverter to drive non original motor with the new zombieverter. Do I understand correctly?

Yes, that looks like the dual motor board.
If you are planning to run a Yars or Auris inverter the smaller version board is the correct one.
Yes, to run with non stock motor you will need a replacement logic board. Can't use the Toyota board.
