I'm exploring the boundaries of what can be done with hardware alone. While I have the motor spinning normally using an off the shelf solution, I am working to trick the motor into running in reverse like a lot of the LDUs have for Model S.
With the very limited space inside the motor I have designed in CAD a way to cross two of the bus-bar linkages for the AC feeding into the stator. I need to modify the oil seal housing next, but I'll be getting these milled out of copper here soon.
My 3D print shows the bus bar linkage SHOULD fit in the motor, but I will have to cut the leads to 35mm, so it's a one way ticket to destroying this motor. Should be fun.
I'll be reversing the resolver pins too which is the easy part. If nothing else this should be entertaining in the line of model 3 RDU hacking to see what's possible. It's a crude solution.
