If so I would like to talk to you- I need to know how the Hyperterminal program (or equivalent) recommended by Azure (or Solectria) behaves when you connect to the controller RS232 port.

I have an completed build using a Ford Ranger extended cab pickup, using the Azure AC-55 motor and controller. I got both new from Electro Automotive (a $10k kit), who refuses to email, call or FAX me back. At this point I recommend staying away from them as the head-in-the-sand thing does not fly.

Azure filed for bankruptcy 2 weeks before I really could get to troubleshooting this thing. Any help is appreciated!

I installed an Azure Dynamics AC55 in a new build sailboat one year ago. It came preprogrammed to our specs, and the boat was still a year from completion, so I neglected to download CCShell, and I lost the email from Beth Silverman that gave instructions for getting CCShell.

The boat will be ready for launch and sea trials in a few weeks. Beth Silverman is no longer at Azure, and the new contact doesn't answer emails. I registered and the site let me download Azure Transit Connect diagnostic software, but the ID and password do not work on the extranet page for CCShell downloads.

Is there another way to get CCShell?

Thanks,

I'd like to get a copy of the ccshell program as well. Does anyone have a copy?

Beth Silverman is no longer at Azure, but she left instructions for getting CCShell on another thread. Instructions quoted below.

Just go to http://customer.azdtec.com/ to open a Customer Concern Report.

Thanks Shan - that was really helpful.

Now to get the motor out and hook it up. Question - does anyone know if you need the motor AMPSeal connector plugged into the controller for the controller to spin? I keep getting an incorrect configuration parameters error on the power side... I'll have to get the exact wording, but it's driving me crazy trying to get this thing to spin with an older Azure motor (no ampseal connector).

Thanks,
Josh

I recently resurrected a DMOC and associated motor and am now driving. During this process I learned a lot about ccshell and the DMOC system. You do NOT need ccshell to make it all work. CCshell is just a diagnostic tool and monitoring system (and yes you can make changes to your DMOC if you know what you are doing). What you DO need for ccshell to function is the correct configuration file for your DMOC and motor.

You can make the DMOC work easily. Just need HV supply, LV supply, and then pull a few pins to ground. Look in the DMOC manual for detail on minimal start.

Let me know if any questions.

Any experience adjusting the controller to get a little more oomph out of the motor?

You will need to modify the ISR2MaxPowerOut value. That is the limit on how much torque is produced.

WARNING: raising this value will increase the odds of overheat.

WARNING: Write down all the values and their names BEFORE changing anything.
