  1. Controllers
    I have acquired an EV conversion project that is using 4 sevcon gen 4 size 4 controllers, each running its own MOT motor. The vehicle previously had all 4 running on (I believe a single) CAN bus but I will need to put in my own new VCU and I don’t have documentation on the previous setup. 1) I...
  2. Technical Discussion
    Hello everyone, New here and unfortunately the website won't let me direct message a particular member so I'm trying my luck with a public post instead. I am currently in the process of converting a 2014 mustang electric power steering rack to use on a JZ swapped drift car. After a quick...
  3. Controllers
    Hello, good evening my brothers I have a Curtis 1238, which I want to extract data through Can Bus with the MCP2515 adapter and an Arduino, but I can't get CAN BUS communication, I've browsed the internet, downloaded and tried a thousand codes but I can't get them, can someone help me? Thank...
  4. Technical Discussion
    Can anyone give me a pointer. Just finishing my build 100v Netgain and Orion BMs plus 5 tesla modules. Seems the current software wont let the Netgain talk to the can network so. When regen kicks in and the cells are almost fully charged it knocks out the charge enable relay on the BMS which is...
  5. Batteries and Charging
    I was working on a system of SIMP BMS with BMW i3 modules and a Victron inverter. Now, I have to stop using Victron inverters and use trumpf AC-DC, DC-DC, and system control units in addition to SIMP BMS along with BMS i3 modules. The Victron had DBC files that I was able to convert into CAN IDs...
  6. All EV Conversions and Builds
    I am building an electric car conversion and have plans for other vehicles What I need to find – or develop – is a programmable interface with the vehicle ECU which will act as a clone to the engine (hence the standard ECU maintaining all of the normal safety features of the vehicle and being...
  7. Batteries and Charging
    ---SOLVED--- Thanks for all the help Hi everyone, I have an Orion BMS revision E and I'm having trouble connecting the BMS over CAN bus. I have the CANADAPTER that's supplied with the BMS from Ewert Energy. I've contacted Ewert Energy about my problem, but I figured I'd post to the forums and...
  8. Controllers
    Hey guys, first post here at DIYElectricCar. I have a question about interfacing with the Curtis 1238 motor controller over CANbus. I am using this controller in a hand built boat for a club at university. I am trying to display motor data from the controller (such as motor rpms, temperature...
  9. Batteries and Charging
    I have to rethink my charging, so I decided to take a closer look at TC chargers (aka Elcon). It seems, that these chargers (with CAN) are more flexible and less expensive than f.e. Zivan charger (which I use today). Now I have to find a way to communicate with the TCCH to set voltage and...
  10. Batteries and Charging
    Good Morning EV'ers, Can anyone tell me if there is a voltage logger such as a cellog8 the monitors each cell in series (taking one voltage reading at a time then moving to the next cell in the pack?) I am looking at some options for a monitoring system for 15 cells of LiFePo4. I am thinking...
  11. Technical Discussion
    So I have been back and forth with a Chinese company (cough-BestGo-cough) about a charger that won't pick up the message to begin a charge cycle. My BMS is getting the CAN message and I can see the CAN message going to the charger. My BMS support has pointed out that not all CANBUS transceivers...
