Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking


And finally on the board that uses the NCP1060 , I need to know how pins 3 and 5 of U36 (the NCP1060) connect and what value components are used.
Many thanks. If too much work am happy to pay postage for the boards and return them to you once measurments are complete.


I took some pictures with ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking


Also on the 960 ,and this will be the tricky part, U31 gets its HV side 5v supply via R243. I need to know where R243 connects and how they derive the HV side 5v on this revision.


This is indeed a tricky one, it goes towards the MCU and comes to a filtering with L13 and C160, This is actually ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking


@Nathaniel, the board scan is perfect thanks. I can highlight on a few pictures the measurements I need if thats ok?

On the "960" board with the missing parts, could you measure the values of R173 , R174 , R186 as circled in red? I suspect D56 is a zener diode. Could you measure its voltage? will ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

was unexpectedly workshop time tonight so unfortunately no inverter component measurements but oil pump tests. I connected the oil pump from an older model 3 motor and it responds to various speeds and can also come to a complete stop at 0. I also noticed that my newer Model Y pump isn't reporting ...

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

I will do the measurements tomorrow evening, but i have both of the versions of the boards you are looking for. But the u36 ncp1060 i found that only in a older board with the 3D1 and 980 making. Al the newer ones looks different in that part of the board.

A crude test board to see if the NCP1060 circuit behaves.

Re: Tesla Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Hacking

Thanks for your reply. Given the schematic, various sensors could certainly be installed. For example, an NTC 10k, but then the question is whether that curve is included in the firmware. At this point I would really like to get something mounted so I can start testing. I have an NTC 10k lying ...
