Jbman, did you get a response from Paul right away? I got a message that wasn't all that promissing about getting in touch.


Also, who had the Leaf motor adapter plate file? I've been looking for something as well.



In terms of the weight of the truck, just so you know, my leaf motor will be powering a 3 tonne GVW truck so I suspect you are good as long as you can keep the RPM up on the leaf motor to within its normal range.

And I was able to get the motor from the same shop! Paul is preparing a board, and I'll hopefully be able to bench test everything within the next few weeks.

Now I need to figure out if I can use the Leaf charger and DC-DC. I'm not super optimistic about that. There's some information out there, but not enough for me to get it running right off the bat.

I've never done anything significant over CAN-BUS, so I think I'm going to have to learn some more there. I'd like to control the charger and converter with an Arduino, ultimately. I've only done the tiniest bit with Arduino, as well, so this will be interesting. Anyone have some helpful direction in this area?

What is the capability of Pauls board? I'm still trying to figure out what it does and doesn't do and will it work with parts of you newly arrived charger and DC-DC?

It replaces the brains of the inverter. Afaik, it will do nothing with the charger or DC-DC. I haven't found any good ways to control them, yet.

I am asking, since there is no schematic that I have seen, how the inputs (throttle, shifter etc) are attached. Can I use the Leaf pedals, for example or the shifter, or some of the gauges? Does it expect specific types of controls? I have some of these things but no idea if they are useful. It's a noob question perhaps.

That's what I'm getting at. Can Pauls controller work with any CANBus stuff or has he ditched that avenue altogether. I don't even know the answer to that simple question. I does determine whether I try to use his board or not or whether the Leaf input devices are capable of being used without CAN.

I can't wait to see what the board is like and how it all goes together.
