Re: TIDA-01513 Isolation monitoring [SOLVED]

There is an addendum that maybe more helpful if you intend to implement the isolation monitor.
'TIDA035 Addendum to TIDA-01513 For Two-point Insulation
Resistance Measurements'
I have implemented this isolation monitor including code, happy to share the design.

Re: Zombieverter Nissan Leaf 160kW


If any knows how to rinse more RPM out of the Leaf E+ 160kw then Im all ears.

Since you have constant power (160kW), rpm will depend on prop pitch. It would likely be best to change the rpm to maximize inverter/motor efficiency. I don't know the most efficient rpm for EM57/160kW inverter, it ...

Re: Mercedes EQS modules with slave BMS boards

Another option to communicate with ISOspi modules is Arduino shield DC2617A from Analog Devices (they are in short supply though), this will plug into an Arduino board (Uno a bit slow?, Uno R4, Duo) this provides CAN bus and ISOspi. I have hacked the Simpbms code to work with Uno R4 and LTC6812 ...

What about the Leaf PDM polarity? Relative to the picture, the left side is negative and the right is positive, is this correct?

The attached may help (found online somewhere), it only shows the decoding for motor torque and temperature, so you would have to figure out to get rpm.

I am having trouble getting my LIM to wake up with just can messages.

It wakes up and transmits can messages with any of the hardware wake up signals (wake, door open etc.).

Re: Manual discharge of a 60v pack

It would be safer to use a electronic load, I have used a Tenma 72-13210 120V 300W to discharge batteries to a known voltage, it took quite a while at only 300W though.

A suggestion to produce a Polestar 2 bms solution.

The wire with the black tape (in the picture) connects to L1 on the type 2 charge connector. The polarity of the AC connection should not matter really, unless the PDM does an continuity check between PE and neutral, like Renault's do.
