Paul & Sabrina's cheap DIY 144v motor controller

[squiggles]

Yes, Espoo. I have a good friend who works there. Apparently gets a bit cold in winter.

I guess Espoo also got a lot of snow this winter. They had lots of problems with excess snow in Helsinki, which is very close to Espoo. It was something like -35C at worst and it lasted weeks. Southern Finland stays few degrees warmer. While diesel engines had problems with frozen pumps (and diesel itself, hehe), my EV did work okay, hehe. And so did controller. I was able to get heatsink temperature barely above 0C when pulling 200-300A from batteries.

Great looking Beast in your Pics. It makes the control board look tiny.

Hello
Thanks for the help. Now LED is fast flashing. I use this calculator.
Engbedded AVR Fuse Calculator

The picture for the ponyprog program is attach.

And now I hawe another problem. On the RTD explorer show me the alarm V-ref-fault.
I try to conect the pin 11 on the atmega8 on the + and -5V and the alarm is the same. What can I do.

The micro expects a 2.5v v ref signal if no current is flowing. You can simulate this with two 1k resistors across the 5v line with the center tap going to the vref input.

In other news I have made a start on the controller for the bike. I'm calling it the revoliton jr I'm using 2 of the powerex cm400du 400A 600V parts. I'm videoing this build and the liquid cooled revoliton 0.9 monster. So far i have over 90 minutes of video. I expect over 3 hours when done. I plan to upload the highlights to youtube and if anyone wants a dvd just ask. That way you can inflict the pain of listening to me drone on for 3 hours on your friends

It's looking more and more refined. Beautiful!

I'm doing the wiring in the car and then I plan on testing the 3 1000amp controllers in the car this weekend. It's actually sunny today. The last 6 months or so it has rained every day.
