Re: The idle mode is always. Does not work.


It works on the latest 5.38 firmware with the inverter in run mode (not manual run!)


I found out the reason why my idle mode wasn't working! I hope this information will be useful to someone in the future.
I had the values of pot2min and pot2max set to 0. Even though I had the offthrotregen ...

Re: The idle mode is always. Does not work.



7.2seconds 0-100 km/h on grass!!

this car uses a firmware version with a modified syncadv principle (5.36.42B-foc), and the battery voltage is 260 volts. two Outlander motors.

It would be interesting to test the updated firmware on it.

I didn't notice any significant differences in our settings, but this mode doesn't work for me.
You have cruise support enabled, but I have it disabled. Could there be a problem in this area?

Moved to Drive trains. Please check for a better category before posting under "General".
A classical task for the new maintainers to take care of!




I thought that the question about the program code corresponded to the "general" section in "inverters" . Please forgive me if I was wrong.

The idle mode is always. Does not work.

Hello everyone.
I remember very clearly that I used this mode on one of the previous firmware versions, and it always kept the engine running at idle for automatic transmission.

However, today I was unable to start it. I tried pressing the "start inverter" button while holding down the brake ...

if you add two more fans on the other side of the radiator, but on the "other" side, so that the air flows together, your problem will be solved.

Re: [FIRST DRIVE] Leaf to VW Type 2 Campervan

this temperature is quite normal, there is no need to worry.
for the inverter, anything above 80° is critical, and the motor can tolerate 130° in long climbs.

a) cracked solder joint of connector on OI board. Diagnose with microscope or by wiggling every single pin with tweezers. (I don't think a continuity test will discover this because intermittent).

my opinion is exactly the same. somewhere the soldering contact on the control board is missing.

Re: SDU on 56S (204V nom)

I've always been curious about how to get the basic RPM of the engine from the power plant using sinusoidal firmware.
For synchronous motors, it's easy to do this by disabling the FW, which allows you to obtain the RPM based on the current battery voltage.
However, how can усwe achieve this using ...

Thanks, I didn't think of that. It's a strange solution, but you could use 12 volts for this purpose, like everyone else.
I'm going to use it with a small V3 Joohu board and not use the small steering inverter.

Hello everyone. I need help with this inverter.
I'm applying 5 volts to the red and black wires, but the drivers don't receive power, and connecting the inputs to ground doesn't open the channels.
What am I missing to get it working?

Re: [Driving] Homebuilt Locost 7 - from Motorcycle engine to Leaf power!

and why not use a charging system using an OI board??
in boost mode, you can supply any constant voltage to the input, even 75 volts, and an inverter with a motor will raise it to your battery level.

How should I interpret this? Did I mess up soldering one of the JSTs, or is there a bad component on the board? Should I be concerned or ignore the error?

This can be used on the DcSw positive contactor output. So only when you have other means to control the latter


it could be a great feature if it used a less sought-after output (for example, instead of "out vtg" or "out err")
