Re: Delay startup of 1 minute

While testing the SDU I accidently switched off the 12V while the motor was turning, blew up my inverter :( :(

I had a spare SDU in stock and changed the inverter, doing that I discovered that the 2pin IL connecter on the openinverter board was loose.
This could be the cause of the startup delay ...

Re: Delay startup of 1 minute

I found the problem, the HV connectors where a bit dirty. After cleaning the problem was gone!

Thanx for replying Mangelsdorf!

Delay startup of 1 minute

After startup, the car will not move for about 1–2 minutes, even though:
• opmode = run
• status = none
• no error flags
• potnom correctly goes from 0–100%

If I keep the throttle pressed after 1 minute suddenly the car starts moving. Once the car strats driving everything works perfect.
If I ...

Re: Jerky car at pull up

the handbrake was unfortunately not the problem, the inverter was defective. probably got too hot and therefore 1 or 2 phases failed. With a new inverter it drives smoothly again

Re: SDU rotordir problems

I tried 3 different firmware versions: v5.35_r_sine, v5.32_r_sine and v5.27_r_sine, same problem.

During the last firmware update by accident the 12V to the SDU was disconnected, now I can't connect to the board again.....

Is there a way to connect to the board again with CAN and upload a new ...

Re: SDU rotordir problems

Is it possible with my hardware to downgrade to 5.13.R-sine? I have more experience with this firmware version.

Re: SDU rotordir problems

This problem only happens once in the 5 times at starting up the car. The other 4 times there is no problem at all and the car drives smoothly

Re: SDU rotordir problems

It is not possible to drive, the car only bouncing. When you press the throttle the bouncung gets louder.
When you push the car a bit forward and it starts rolling it is possible to drive bud it drives jerky.

Re: SDU rotordir problems

I have attached the 2 screenshots of the spot values, one is from a godd working SDU and one from a jerky SDU.

When the SDU starts jerking the rotordir and seldir have opposite value, this behaviour is very constant.

Jerky car at pull up

(5.35.R on inverter, v2.2 of web interface)

I have some trouble with my SDU rotordir.
The SDU works fine, only sometimes when I start the drive unit the spotvalues 'seldir' and 'rotordir' are opposite. In this case the car is not driving at all, when I press the trottle the car is very jerky. This ...
