Re: Cruise Control Can Message

Of course there is a logical reason. And I'm still waiting for a plot of cruisespeed. We can tackle this systematically. Or not at all.

If you want to find out how developers get burned out look at this thread. I ask for X, I get nothing. So I have to ask again. And I can't help. Great way to ...

Re: Doing useful things with the Prius Gen2 buck/boost converter

Brilliant, cool to see someone actually having some success in pursuing that path :)
Speaking of derating it will cut back before reaching udcmax just like it would under regen. You can also setup some CAN mapping between Orion and the inverter to modify the chargecur parameter.

As for efficiency I ...

Re: Energy Controller including CCS interface

I set up a wiki page https://openinverter.org/wiki/FoccciCape

I've also added the precharge supply back in. I connected a 10uF 400V elcap and a 1M resistor to the output. This gives it a pretty deterministic voltage ramp which I think is also slow enough (0-400V in 6s) so that the vehicle will just ...

Re: Fying ADC BMS incorrect voltage readings

I think you should set testchan to 10 and 11, respectively to test the voltages of the faulty channels. Like said, the mux is thereby locked to the channel you specify. -1 turns off channel testing, any larger value turn on the given channel.

Ok, that is a pretty obvious "some FET is always conducting" fault. Surprised this didn't show with the diode test.
Since you're in the UK sending stuff back and forth is a bit of a hassle (I have to drive to customs, pay import VAT). So could you go over it again yourself? With Q5 taking itself out ...

Re: Fying ADC BMS incorrect voltage readings

Did I ever suggest to use the "testchan" parameter? It locks the mux to one channel. Then you can do more detailed measurements, e.g. gate-source voltage of the involved FETS

The switch became redundant for now because Ethernet is now only needed for inverter comms.

That's the thing, quite a lot. Not so much off-throttle but brake blending regen up to 40% of acceleration torque.

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

The original petrol motor went to 6500 but of course that's not an operating point you'd use. I think at highway speeds (130 kph) the input shaft spins at roughly 4000 rpm in 6th gear. I usually drive 120 kph max in 4th which is like 5000 rpm.
I don't measure transmission temperature but could stick ...

Re: EV Conversion using prius gen 2 inverter/transaxle

So you had a working resolver before taking the transmission apart. You have a non-working resolver after taking it apart and putting it back together. Correct?

You need to see a clean 0-359°C angle plot (1000 burst, 1000 points) in FOC firmware when spinning the motor by hand. Otherwise all other ...

yes that is the primary reason why I didn't, the second one is that I don't want to dive too deep into field weakening and the 3rd is I want to be able to reach high top speed

Re: Cruise Control Can Message

moved to inverter section.

Please plot cruisespeed to make sure that isn't the culprit.
What you describe sounds like controller oscillation, in that case raising speedflt would help, 1 at a time. Perhaps also lowering speedkp if further possible

just connect it to the CAN bus alone without the other module. Of course there will be no parameters. Just start the update anyway and it should go through
