Nissan Leaf or i3 inverter might do it justice and is well hacked. Or if you can get ahold of a Tesla Inverter that should definitely pack enough punch


Ideally I would like an inverter that will be completely environmentally sealed so I discounted the the Tesla LDU since it is not just integral ...

I have a Borg Warner/Remy HVH-250-115-DOM motor and want to build up an inverter to run it. What is the best platform that Open Inverter supports that would be a good match for this motor? it's the 400V, ~200kW version.

I really don't know the different OEM platforms and what the strengths and ...

The AEM BMS only needs to see the CP and PP pins if the VCU is directly controlling the OBC. If not they can be left disconnected.

Modern OEM vehicles will condition the batteries before allowing them to charge when it gets really cold. This may take the form of heating the batteries while charging at a very low rate and increasing the charge rate as the pack temp increases, or in extreme cases it may practically withhold ...

I read somewhere that it was to crack down on the spam/clone accounts that try to steal a popular channels identity to pull scams. That way if you do somehow end up on their (copied) homepage they cant hide that they don't actually have the successful channel they are claiming to have.
I don't have ...

The LDU inverters DC-Link caps are only are rated for 450V so anything above that will be at your own peril.

I think it would be really involved to reduce the track width of the tesla subframe/suspension. Doing it would involve completely redesigning and fabricating the suspension and getting the geometry right would be a huge challenge.

Ford is also releasing an E-Crate motor separately.

I would focus 100% on the battery first, everything else is secondary.

Don't underestimate the role of the batteries in the ultimate power the system makes. The delivered power is almost always limited by the current the batteries can supply at a given voltage rather than the motor itself. The P85 vs P100 you mentioned is a great example since the motor in both is ...

HI Forum. Is it possible to set a divider in the gain area when mapping a CAN message ? I am transmitting 'Turns' to use for odometer but would like to divide the Turns value by 422 so Turns increments by 1 every 1/10th mile. Fingers crossed its possible :-) Thanks. Peter


Couldn't you use (1 ...

In one of your youtube videos the dash showed over 1800A when you went WOT, is that correct?

They designed it with Cascadia motion (the people behind the Rinehart inverters) so I think its a pretty sick little board!

The board is pretty nice but the real effort has been in the inverter drive and motor characterization. Engineering here has done over 1000 dyno runs just on the Base ...

the DBC file should have a ton of info in it. Have you dug into it or are you committed to changing out the OEM control board?

I am interested in hybridizing a race car. Adding an extra ~100hp and using regen to charge it back up again every lap sounds real interesting.

Well, the fact that the first I heard this announcement was made was by reading it on this forum should tell you a lot about my sway in the marketing group.

"AEM's new Tesla control board is a great, simile reliable option. It doesn't require previous experience with inverter tuning or even any experience with EVs at all! Our option comes complete with factory support and a warranty. It just works, right out of the box. With AEM's new control board, a ...

But does the Open Source board really need marketing? It's not like this project is a designed to be a commercial endeavor

I just don't think there was any ...snip... need to refer to them as "uncertain" or "limited" or (by implication) "uncapable".

You misread the text. The Uncertain and Limited was referring to the CAN Spoofing methodology used by some solutions not the Open Source version.


I just don't think ...

The question I would raise, having had a huge multitude of Tesla Drive units apart, how will AEM be dealing with the DOA Tesla drive units (these are salvaged units after all) that the boards get fit to by unwitting customers? As shifting the blame onto the replacement board would be quite an easy ...

Sorry, I don't see that as a kick at open source.

The open source boards require the user to have specific technical skills to get their project up and running. That's totally fine for someone who is interested in acquiring those skills for their project. I would call that their hobby and I believe ...

I think that the ability to buy a fully premade board that comes with full free engineering support, requires no special inverter knowledge and is covered by a warranty is definitely a feature to certain segments.

It's really not aimed at the same market the open source boards are. Here, people ...

AEM EV’s VCU200 and Inverter Control Board combo eliminates the uncertainty and limitations of CAN-Spoofing control, and hobby-level capabilities of Open-Source alternatives
Much appreciated :P


Ha!
That is mainly regarding the design and warranty aspects of the board. Mainly the support a ...

I'm not here in any official manner but I work at AEM so if anyone has any questions I might be able to answer them or find someone who could.

That sucks.

You have to respect the heck out of him for putting his time, effort and money where his mouth was. Lots of people talk, Jack sure talked, but he also DID.

Godspeed Jack.
