I did receive some "Can" lines from the seller. All I know is, there must be someone out there that can access that stuff. On another forum, there is hints that the entire ? info?, I'm not knowledgible of any code stuff, But, I'm near certain that Leaf code has been hacked.
About the differential locker or not stuff, The guy that I know about, built a Delta trike from bicycle stuff and whatever he could find laying around. He has 2 hubmotors on the rear. He travels 20 MPH max., and can make turns without lifting the inside wheel, usually.
He has a long blog type thread, so, I will have to read through it to get that exact info and post it here, IF it might be useful.
By the way, where are all the controller hackers/builders hiding ? I have 22 days before I start disassembling 3 OEM controllers to see what I can scrounge for parts. Then, I have 18 days to make sure I have enough parts to try to build/buy/whatever, a workable controller. It's pure D hell getting stuff shipped into this country.
About the 2 speed thing: Delta/Wye switching might work. Also, the voltage doubler might work, IF I can locate a Prius inductor, and an electric motor can be wound up a long ways above rated RPM's, so, why can't I gear low enough to pull the problem areas and then use the voltage doubler for maintaining higher speeds, as long as that feature is controllable ? I am constantly being shot down over this idea ? I can even liquid (mineral Oil) cool the motor AND controller. What's the big deal ?
I made up a trial geared 2 speed, using wooden sides and 600cc tranny gears. It turns reasonably well with just oiling the wood where the shafts go through, although straight gear teeth are noisy. It has dog clutch shifting, geared at 1.15:1 and 2:1. (That may need to be reversed) Enclosing and cooling is not so tough, but, how to lube the gears without gear oil leaking out and getting under the rear tire ?? THIS is why I want electronic gearing.
Also, need to sell this Leaf stuff and the battery modules.
Also, I keep forgetting about the "Thank You" feature on this site. I need to start using that.
