Re: L210 gearbox

Hi all,

Re: Zombie + GS300H Inverter Communication

Hi again,

I have been refining and testing my setup a bit more but I am still having an issue with motor juddering. Verified all LV-communication wiring with 4-eye principle. I switched from a likely RHD-Inverter to a LHD-Inverter. But the issue persists. Only change is with RHD, MG2 only worked ...

Re: L210 gearbox

Hi together,

now where I finally got my L210 running with Toms help. I have one particular issue. It appears as if the Motors are slipping. Is this a case of Oil missing in the transmission? I tried with half a litre of ATF but it just spits it out with a lot of pressure? Is this a common issue ...

Re: Zombie + GS300H Inverter Communication

Hi Tom,

I found the "what it will take".

1. Changed the wiring from Inverter to Resolver connections from a thicker dual core to a thin gauge multi-core wire, this ensures the pins sit easier in the Inverter Plug.
2. Upped the battery size, but I guess that was not the issue
3. Rechecked all ...

Re: Zombie + GS300H Inverter Communication

Thaaanks Tom! I got further with that.

I am getting PotNom in Drive (now where there break input is disconnected...I guess I need a different break switch. :) )

reconnecting the Inverter will definitly send signals to the motor but it just beeps when PotNom is above 10% what is needed to convince ...

Re: Zombie + GS300H Inverter Communication

Hi Tom, so setting the value to 0 did not change anything. Also not under V2.17A

I guess the Pedal is wired correctly as I am getting Pot and Pot2

Could grounding cause this?

Just tested it unfortunately no change.

I guess tomorrow I will do the following:

- Re-check wiring Inverter to Resolvers,
- try with the second inverter I have
- re-flash an apply Damians e46 file for parameters (is there a new loader for V2.22A?)
- pray to the ev gods

Hi again, so I have restored the Zombie to V2.05A. Inverter gets both 12V & HV (87V). But I still do not have any communication. What version are you guys running with the GS300H setup? Is there any obvious things I should check to get the inverter to spring to life? Are Grounding issues a thing (I ...

NOTE : If you are using a Toyota drivetrain the VCU MUST BE RESET after loading new firmware or the inverter will not start.

Re: Zombie + GS300H Inverter Communication

Good to know! Under 2.17 I had the same issue. But it used to work in the past so maybe I just need to go back further. Great then I will give that a try tomorrow. Thanks Tom.

Hi all,

I have been checking all my connections and parameters the last days and yet I have no success to get to INVStatus "on". I even switched inverters to rule that one out. All other things like the Relay for 12V+, direction Switch, Sbox are working as they should. Is someone able to point me ...

The back of my wired connector. Note I have left out one of the resolvers as this was for a test setup for Zombie testing.

Connector pinouts usually correspond to backs (wire sides) of connectors and so does most numbering.

Yes correct. And that is how I have it connected.

I was referring to this section in the wiki. https://openinverter.org/wiki/Lexus_GS450h_Drivetrain

Re: L210 gearbox

Hi together,

I tried spinning up my L210 with the G9200-30132 Inverter. The Inverter came from UK so likely RHD and the Transmission from Europe LHD. Does someone know if the same case applies like for the L110 that the phases are swapped? As written in the Wiki?
All I got in terms of live was one ...

BMW S-Box Voltage & Current Limits

Does anyone know the voltage and current limits supported? I guess to be safe use max voltage of the hybrid pack but would be great to know if this coil be used for higher voltage applications as well. Thanks in advance.
