@@BenBeyond2003 It's a Prius pedal

@@EVguru Thanks good to know, I just not expected resistor to fail. I usually use a light bulb for the first test but I didn't film it this time

No, this board replaces the Tesla control board inside the inverter and controls the power stage by itself. The board uses Open inverter program designed by Johannes Hubner to control the Tesla power electronics

@@LatutaEV ok, but is that actually necessary? Can't you just use canbus to control it?

@murraymadness4674 Yes potentially it can be done but it's not as simple as it sounds. I believe Tesla encrypted some of their Comms but I have never tried. The second factor is that Tesla updates the firmware on those boards frequently. If someone gets a newer motor then previously determined protocol may not work. And the third factor for me it was more interesting to learn how the inverter works in this way 😉

No unfortunately not.😔

@@LatutaEV When I get out of the dipshit of the divorce that I'm in, Ill try it for sure, make basic EV with LTO, and then if needed, one can add a dense battery, I'm sure some city folk would do just fine with like 10km of range from only LTO cells

Thank you you are very kind.

Sure will do more although my other viewers don't find this one that interesting 🤔

Thank you Daisy 😁

A bit of both It's JLC PCB software has a problem with Kicad rotation. Now I know and check it all the time 😁

Oh sorry I missed that bit 😔

Glad you enjoyed it

Oh yeah 😂

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried it already. Usually the board consumes less then 2 amps. I have increased the power limit up to 2 amps and its still a problem. I want to be cautious and remove the inverter to check it separately.

You know what you were right. I tried to increase the current limit further up to 3 amps and it worked well, so I didn't increase the current limit far enough when I tried it the first time. Your comment made me rethink it, thank you very much. This saved me from opening the inverter 😅.

Nice! I'm so glad to have helped. When it happened to me, I also got very worried and thought I damaged the board somehow. After about 15 mins of checking various components and connections I figured it out and was very much relieved. Thx for all your videos! They are very insightful and I have learned a lot from them.

I am glad you found my videos useful and thanks for your suggestion as well. That saved me a lot of time messing about with opening inverter.

Yes they do get power from the 12 V supply. While ignition and brake are just switches the throttle pedal does get power from the board.

@@propsmear the accelerator and brake each have 3 wires (+5V, GND, Signal). Do NOT supply separate voltage to these, the board will supply the +5V. You need to connect them to the corresponding 3 wires on your pedals.

@@propsmear ignition, start, forward, and reverse are all separate +12V inputs.

Thank you 😊

I have seen laptop repair people doing it. The idea is when the board was manufactured which in my case few months ago it had HASL done. This inevitably would be oxidised and have some other impurities. The tining of the pads will get refreshed surface. But it might be not critical and waste of time so I will try with it next time

Sure already working on the next one 😉. How's your project going?

You can purchase ready made controllers to control Tesla motor. If you are in the US there are a number of companies selling this type of products.

Oh yeah 😂

I think it is possible but I would not recommend this. Prius gearbox is quite low power and may not be viable in a truck as it won't make much of a difference

Specially since you leaned heavily on the base board and are using the Open Inverter videos.

Thank you Johannes for appreciation of my videos it's an honour. Yes of course I will.

I made some other minor improvements but no new features at this stage

@@LatutaEV What did you improve and where are your design files? Also why no mention in the video of this?

@Tom-evnut Hey Tom great to hear from you. I am going through some testing and will share the design files once I know it is working 🙂

I am glad you found this useful. Check my other video about ESP32 programming it may be useful for you too

Thank you 👍

Thank you Don very much appreciated 😊

Thank you, will do more soon 🙂

Thank you

Thank you it's coming

Eventually yes but first I need to test it to make sure it works. I will release it first Patreon supporters.

I am glad you liked it

Glad you liked it and yes I do have some modules left

Thanks yes I still have the original modules shown in the video

You nailed it, your comment is spot on. I think Rowan is biased, if you have Aston Martin and McLaren in your garage you are not particularly thinking about family looking for a 10 year old vehicle, right.

@@antonkorzh3811 Привет а как вы догадались что я говорю по Русскому? Я думаю что это будет не просто. Я знаю что мотор от 110 kW можно использовать с 160 kW инвертор. Я думаю что в менее мощном инверторе igbt транзисторы менее мощные. Посмотри Darla's channel on RUclips he changed the inverter on his Leaf. If there was an easier way to modify the inverter he would have done it.

@@antonkorzh3811 Вот Линк по видео он делал ruclips.net/video/VGBA8VPWwIg/видео.htmlsi=dLfH5G5ezF3LSJfH

@@LatutaEV на самом деле я как раз и нашёл ваш комментарий под видео Dala, поэтому и понял что вы говорите по русски. Моя идея заключается как раз в том чтоб доработать инвертор gen2 до gen3. Думаю перепайка транзисторов должна выйти дешевле, чем цены на gen3 у нас.... если вдруг вы будете обладать информацией о различии в начинке этих инвесторов,, пожалуйста, дайте знать🫡

@antonkorzh3811 Да теперь понятно. Идея интересная попробуйте, но я думаю как раз в России можно найти целый инвертор дешевле. Я знаю что много машин импортируют из Японии по низким ценам и инвертор тоже будет дешевле если такая машина попадает в аварию

Yes sounds good but one needs a gearbox to balance the ratio to wheels while Tesla motor has this already included plus inverter

Do you know which model of a forklift?

@@statzietech it was Jlc PCB I have found their software often not interpret the rotation of the components. I actually check but I am guessing not well 😞

Thank you for your support. Are you referring to four power suppliers joined together? Those are to emulate the high voltage all together 120V. I don't have battery providing high voltage at the moment so use those instead

@@LatutaEV No, I probably wasn't clear enough, I'm sorry. I was asking why, instead of a DC-DC converter from a Prius, a simple switching power supply isn't suitable to convert the high voltage from the main vehicle battery to the 12V needed for the auxiliary services. Sorry If I couldn't explain it better in my previous comment. 😅😅

@@BC107BP yes sorry I misunderstood you. When I will have a proper battery I will have to convert 360 to 400 volts to 14 volts. Not many DC to DC converters can do that. Actually the Prius could only do about 240 and will require further modification of the control circuit.

Oh thank you 😀

@@johnChan-ho8kz just doing video about one as we speak 🙊

Thank you, I'm glad that video was useful

Thanks for the info I will look into use of the flash tool

Thanks for your support this keeps me going

What do you have in mind?

@@LatutaEV I got an old datsun pickup truck that needs a new drivetrain

Yes fully agree ☺️

Thank you so much for your support. This keeps me going

Thank you

Oh thank you 😁

Thanks very much 😊

Thanks! 👍
