I'm ready to get a PCB made.
Everything is on this Github
If I have described something wrong or have missed something please let me know.

Re: Camry Hybrid Gen 1 Inverter Hacking
That is simply excellent. Thank you.
I'm going to need a hacksaw

Re: Camry Hybrid Gen 1 Inverter Hacking
Not dead yet! Due to various excuses that I won't belabour you all with, I haven't had the most time to work on the inverter. However, I am moving forward slowly.
Right now, I'm in the process of using a Huebner board to spin a small motor I have in manual mode using the method Damien used in his older video (lobotomise board, put the main cap back on, etc.), and I thought I would post how I plan to do that before I cover everything up.
The reason I removed the resistors was to not interfere with the OE circuit (break anything). I'll post a video once I have something up and running!

Re: Camry Hybrid Gen 1 Inverter Hacking
I look forward to seeing how it goes.
I have received my PCBs and was going to test it out this week but another job may have pushed that back.

Re: Camry Hybrid Gen 1 Inverter Hacking
What's the status on this? I'm considering using my GS450H inverter with johannes brain, do you think I wouldn't be too far off if I'd base my board on your latest pinouts?mackoffgrid wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 8:35 pm I have received my PCBs and was going to test it out this week but another job may have pushed that back.

Re: Camry Hybrid Gen 1 Inverter Hacking
I haven't tested the PCB yet - too many projects
The thing with the Camry Inverter is that not all the Fault and Temp lines have been identified. This is not a problem for my application.
If you use my gerbers it will cost $10 or so at JLC to try it out
The physical dimensions, holes and connector positions are fine.

Re: Camry Hybrid Gen 1 Inverter Hacking
do you have any news on this project?
right now I'm disassembling the gs450h inverter for the purpose of foaming the native board onto the v3 Johu board and making the output of both igbt parallel to one motor to increase power.
