I will seek it out! Thanks!

Car is parked away for winter now..

I really enjoyed this car this summer.. It seen more miles this year than it has for the previous 3 combined!

Do have some slow speed clunking and some sort of intermittent acceleration when the weather got colder.. Cant seem to get logs to works to try and ...

Sorry.
This problem is now happening during blended and mg1+2
Still trying to get a decent log.
I think i caught it happening here around row 79 onwards for a short bit.
The potnom is decreasing even though this is most likely WOT event as the voltage is dropping.
Sorry I don't have other values, I ...

Hi.

I cannot get a log to work.

I have just enabled both mg1 and mg2, the issue goes away when I do this.

Hi Tom I will try again for logs.
I haven't been able to plot or log anything via the web interface, ever.

In the vid I posted, I'm applying full throttle. You can hear it stabbing up through the RPM.
To me it feels like one motor is accelerating as it should and the other is cutting in and out.

I ...

Hi gang.
My car has started this intermittent acceleration problem at full throttle.

Check out this video. You can hear the intermittent bursts as it climbs the RPM

Here are my parameters, don't know how to download these to a file so it ...

I am based in Australia, so not sure if the a123 modules are really viable for me :(
There is limited info on battery building, I guess for good reason. The a123 modules look like a great simple DIY form factor, will need to take measurements to see if they fit.

I would like to have 4 modules in ...

Playing about with the regen. Currently just using the brake pedal regen.
The presets for regen were crazy. thing pretty much went full blast out of the gate when the brake was applied. wowzers lol...

got it behaving a little better now.

Listen to that oil pump go!!

Hey thanks!
I have 4 a123 modules in 2 pairs. One up front and one in the back.
Wiring was quite simple. I don't know a massive amount about electrics so ive done what I feel is acceptable but not posting specs about wire gauge etc incase folks copy my ignorance. I have contactors and fuses in ...

She is driving!

Did 75 km yesterday before I chickened out and went home.

Looks like i'm getting around 5.3 KM per kwh, although my rev limit was at 6000 rom so top speed was 88kph


I have a few stupid Qs though-

This setting will slow ...

Ok. Its working now. Thanks

Haha, ya, so the zombie has little to do with controlling charging.
The Thunderstuck MCU looks after charging via CAN
I just need the HVreq to work to close contactors for charging.
Totally under the impression I just have to send 12v to the hvreq pin.
Sorry for the dumb query.

Hi. Got the low speed judder sorted out. I was going the wrong way with some parameters.

Only way to get it to charge is to put it in run mode and plug in the charger.

Screen grabs of parameters

Progress has been decent.

Wheels are turning

I have 2 issues.

1, its incredibly jerky but I still gotta play around with throttle parameters.

2, the HVreq doesn't work when it receives 12v, so I cant charge. It ...

Wow, that is a super clean installation!


Thanks!
I like to plan things out in my head when I'm running boring (not drilling) machines at work...
Fingers crossed when I plug it in it will charge, and when I turn the key it will precharge, and when I push the throttle it will move. . .
Don't ...

Some progress

Pretty much all the physical items in place, final wire up in progress.

Hi. Quick question on the inverter.
Is the HV polarity the same orientation between RHD and LHD inverters, ie, positive always on the left, negative on the right?
This pic from the wiki looks like the RHD unit

Mines from a LHD, has the HV connectors on the ...

Thanks!!

My shifter works, but I don't have enough travel to access the momentary selection beyond drive.
Does this just select the other gearing option that's not set as "normal" in the zombie? If configured to do so?

Nice project!! Hopng to get mine going this summer.

Finally able to get access to the car.
Winter is very long here.
De-iced the car completely.
Worked up my battery boxes a little more with a coolant path, worked on the shifter assembly and mocked up a little more stuff.
Excited to get back at it.

If you're using the Thunderstruck charger, it has a 12v output that's active during charging. That's how I wake my vcu. Can also be used as a drive inh although it won't be active if charging is finished but the plug is still in.

There's also a NC relay in the charger that opens during charging ...

Zombie configures the IVT different then default so you will need 2.



Power on the zombie, utilize a 12V input signal to set it to charge mode - possibly need the charge interface set to Chamdemo (or other but can easily be made to work (worst case I code it in)).

As for drive away protection ...

Do you have a CAN spec for the Thunderstruck MCU?

What functions do you want to have the Zombie do and which the Thunderstruck BMS?


Hey.
I want the Zombie to control the 450H with access to the IVT-S can
Then the Thunderstruck MCU to handle the battery charging and management.
I have both ...

I have the zombieverter running my 450h and the battery box contactors.
I have the MCU from Thunderstruck that runs the BMS
Anyone using these two systems combined?
Thanks

(I hope we are not littering this build thread?)
