Re: [WIP] Upgrade a converted Citroën DS Electric


When I set the REVLIM at 1000 RPM, I push the throttle and the motor turns about 3000 RPM.
Then I have to slow down the motor below he 1000 RPM before the motor reacts again on the throttle.
If I set the REVLIM at 6000 the motor works normal.
The next problem is that, when I set the THRORAMPRPM at ...

Re: creating a can id list !?

Is there any external tool that could create those to copy and paste in? As we gain more knowledge the entries could be edited as needed.

Re: L210 gearbox

Yep, that's way overkill unless weight is not an issue. Look at what motorbike conversion use. If you want to stick with OEM reverse engineering, viewtopic.php?p=64424 is another option.

Re: [WIP] 1979 Subaru Wagon: Leaf Stack,Zomb,Ioniq 5 1/2 pack


Might ditch liquid cooling! I've always thought air cooling would be better for most EV conversions, and after realizing the cost and complexity of custom liquid cooling I started thinking about switching to air again.


Far away from it but I have this idea of internal air cooling in my mind for ...

Re: Tesla M3 and Y ibooster gen2 hacking

Hey guys,
I linked to this thread from https://openinverter.org/wiki/Bosch_iBooster. As you have the iBooster(s) on the bench, can you measure them when you have a chance and add the details in the table, similar to what we have for the Zoe and Yaris ones already?
Happy to help with any editing!

Re: [DRIVING] VW Touran powered by Nissan Leaf [FINISHED]

I have used 4S (used 18650s) on the motorbike for a few years now as the Kelly controller needed it. Plus, it's drain only / charged alongside the main battery. Considering downsizing it and just live with the 50-60% SOC with the DCDC's output voltage ;)

Re: Vectrix VX1 MotorController OpenSource/DIY

Love the Vectrix, nearly bought one of the few in Ireland. The motor has an encoder, correct?
Maybe the Honda IMA-based Lebowski is the right size and Roger (Kiwifiat) sells conversion boards for this inverters - I'm running one myself.
Not much CAN, though, but likely tuneable to the funny throttle ...
