Tesla board user manual
Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2020 8:37 am
Lots of people seemed to want me to write a user manual for the Tesla boards. Now is your opportunity to do so.
The pictures can be found in the github repository listed in the document. (https://github.com/damienmaguire/Tesla- ... it?files=1) at least they are higher resolution:)MattsAwesomeStuff wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 12:32 am I am not a Tesla person, but at least as far as this content is concerned, I will be the caveman who can copy/paste/format it into the wiki if that's what we're doing with it.
2 things:
1 - Wouldn't it make more sense to have a SPDT switch for Forward/Reverse so you can't end up in both positions at the same time?
2 - Is the start switch really momentary pushbutton, or is it latching?
...
Oh, and do you have the source images rather than deal with me MSPainting over top of MS Word captures? ( http://www.imgur.com would be an easy place to upload and link temporarily).

You are correct. It is a momentary switch. Here's a line quoted from Damiens Pinout guide on githubP.S.Mangelsdorf wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 3:28 pm 2: It's momentary, it's just telling the system, "ok, you can go to the next stage of the start up now" (Damien please correct me if I'm wrong)
There is no thanks button in the forum. so I want to reply by thanking. thank you.invokeperformance wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 3:08 pm Here is a quick setup guide I compiled from the forum with the setup schematics, PINOUTs and Trouble shooting FAQs for the Tesla LDU. Some of which will pertain to the SDU also
In the inverter parameters you can make forward/reverse a momentary push button or a SPDT switch. I've done it both ways. I stuck with 2 momentary push buttons one for forward and one for reverse.MattsAwesomeStuff wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 12:32 am I am not a Tesla person, but at least as far as this content is concerned, I will be the caveman who can copy/paste/format it into the wiki if that's what we're doing with it.
