Thanks
On my control board, the precharge and main contactors were timed. They clicked when they should have, but only if the throttle was there and was in the dead zone between forward and regen.

If there is no HV pack, the motor won't move. The 12V battery used for the controller ONLY provides power to the control board.

I didn't check if the IGBT drivers fire with no HV pack. I assume that they would, since the control board doesn't really know if the HV pack is there .. at least it didn't in my version.

Im slowly putting the invertor together, has anyone got the pin out for Pauls resolver to encoder board, I currently have ver 1.2, Paul sent me a diagram of ver 1.3 but the pin out looks different , I dont want to chance it.

Question time : Do I need to use 3 current sensors? or will two suffice. From what I can see the fault logic at least requires 3 current sensors.

Well, I fitted a 3rd LEM and the inverter burst into life. Now outputting 10khz pwm on all 6 channels. Now I just need to figure how how to make it turn a motor ...

If you load up my parameter file, it should run with a potbox throttle on pretty much any AC induction motor.

There may be a bit of overshoot on the torque command ... and you'll have to set your encoder pulses per revolution .. but it should spin unloaded

I'm using a hall throttle and so far no luck.
Have configured throttle.
Motor and HV connected.
Confirmed mechanical speed in both direction being read when motor turned by hand.
No global faults and all igbts switching at 10khz but throttle has no effect on pwm generation and no current being generated. I suspect something is holding off the current generation but struggling to find it.

Found the problem. Seems the call to the space vector modulation routine was commented out so no wonder I couldn't generate any pwm

Still not had any luck with the rotor tuning routine but guessed a few times for the rotor time constand and managed to rip my arm out of its socket trying to hold the output shaft
