waiting for the rest of parts

for now working on batery monitor

we need to know if batteries are leveled so me measure each batery and use an 10 led bargraph to indicate its state

10 identical 12V bargraph voltmetters based on lm3914

bargraphs are easy to read when driving !
we have an digital volmetter to measure battery pack voltage (whole pack)
and this bargraph to measure the remaing power for each battery

we have chosen 10 leds bargraph (DC10GWA) with last 3 red to know when the batery is nearly deplition (11.2V) so that we will not destroy the battery

also voltage levels can be ajusted individualy

for separation we have used quadruple optocuplers (3 of them) to be shure that high voltage can not break anything

this can be mounted on secondary radio bay or in our case in the center on console (where were old warning lights for preasure,etc...)

cost for the whole 10 voltmetters is around 20USD

DYI Dolar charger

i blew the chinese 500W converter at tests with 200W halogen bulb in around 2 hours

upset i decided to build my own

it consists in 3 blocks
clock generator with 555
flip flop switch 1/2 of 4013
power block 2 BUZ48 for every 250W of load
i have reused the old ferite transformer and rewired it for my needs


i have tested this converter with 200W load for 1 day and is still working
(not from the test battery but from my 12V 2x17A dc source )



for battery charger it needs an ac/dc rectifier and an operational as comparator (to monitor charging currrent and stop charging at full battery)


final one has 4 fets (to be shure that it resists in time and prevent overheating)
i have also added 2x200cm2 aluminium raditors
now everthing stays at 43C

price 18USD

Start investgating cheap/small brake pump
i have used an tire compresor that can go to 12 atm and reversed the valve
now i am searching for an vacuum tank 1-2l so that we can stop the pump and start it only when preasure goes below 4atm

the pump is realy small 80mm by 35mm and realy quiet (can be heard )


cost of pump with gauge 7 USD
