Yeah, deffo down for this. Was fun last time

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 ...

There are ESP32 modules with Ethernet which can be used. See this thread. That's only useful if you're using a laptop of course. No good for a phone/tablet.

Looking great!

Are you going to keep the shifter? Looks like the output flange/guibo is sitting very close the shifter hole. I'm wondering what to do about that myself. Not a lot of room to work with.

Thanks for the input, it's a big help :)

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more the batteries-over-the-axle option seems like the better one. Like I say, I had sort of discarded the idea early on. They didn't seem to easily fit above the axle and the dimensions of the fuel tank lined up so well ...

Correction, the rear-most point of the car is about 150mm from the edge of the fuel tank area. So, even worse than I thought.

Would it be easier to put a cage around the back of the car in the boot or behind the rear bumper to strengthen it rather than compromising the battery position?


In the long run its probably just easier to relocate the batteries rather than trying to add strength to rear of the car. They will ...

Wow, my last update was August. Time has really flown by.

This project is still very much alive. I've not posted anything because, frankly, I'm still trying to get ahead of the rust. Here's some of the gore for those who enjoy.

Cowl tank replacement.

I did a little testing and this seems to be working OK. PR submitted for the esp8266 version : https://github.com/jsphuebner/esp8266-w ... ce/pull/24

Will have a look at the esp32 version tomorrow.

This is what I have so far. Open to any suggestions

It appears after two failed data fetches and disappears on recovery.

A little status message at the top about "Wifi/Controller comms established" in green vs. "Wifi cannot find controller" in red would at least save them some troubleshooting time knowing what's broken.


This is a great idea. I've logged a github issue for this and will take a look at it myself.

I had to do some fighting with some crappy Olimex boards :roll: but managed to get there in the end.

Changes:
* For screens where the width is less than 1000px, the menu bar will automatically shrink down and only show the icons.
* The icons get bigger to make them more easy to tap on a small ...

I'd say the thing to do would be to use the "@media" css stuff to show/hide things depending on the width of the screen.

On small screens the left hand menu would normally be hidden, but pop out when you hit a 'hamburger' icon in the top left. Could probably do something similar with the right hand ...

Yay! Great to see this stuff getting merged in. Really glad this has been useful

Happy to help out of course if there are any other tweaks needed.

I broke rule #1 of ev conversion club. I chose to convert a rust bucket. The bodywork continues...

The OEM one looks to be a little bigger. 115mm between opposite centres.

I too have been looking into this :)

There are a couple of other options, although a little pricey still. But they get around the NDA issue.

Rak WisLink LV200V20 based on QCA6410. $29 each
RED Beet H based on QCA7005. €29.50 each.

Edit: ah, rereading the original post, I see the Red Beet has ...

Keep at it. Someday you'll have a gorgeous classic to tool around in!

Just for clarification, I was hoping you might be able to provide some information on the RPM from the gearbox output at different voltages.


Hey, sorry, I missed this somehow. To be honest my gs300 has been sitting untouched on the garage floor for months. I have lots of other work to do on the ...

I got teensy 3.2 and connected with can transceiver but always I got the message modul missing. What I made wrong ?


You've provided very little info, so, it's very hard to help.

How have you wired up the transceiver to the teensy?
How have you wired up the canbus?
How are you powering the CSCs ...

You'll need to provide more info for anyone to be able to help you I'm afraid.

Pictures of your setup, some diagrams of your wiring, any messages from the OI interface, a copy of your params.

Another major piece of work has been around the BMS. I have two BMW PHEV packs that I plan to put in the car. They'll be paralleled together. If I were using just one, I could just use SimpBMS and call it a day. But since I'm using two, things are a little more tricky. The two packs will not be ...
