Yesss ... shows that "Hybrid" for most was too "narrow minded". (If you have a small displacement combustion engine (with the right internals) and use E to just boost it, new economy/efficiency AND power levels can be reached. It would be "hybrid all the time" instead of hybrid like either...

Has anyone looked closer at Golf Cart controllers? Companies like Alltrax, Navitas and Curtis have some interesting 48V high amp controllers (e.g. 500 amps for 2 minutes)... Environment hardened industrial cases ... relatively cost efficient ... Would those be able to run tiny itsy bitsy rc...

It is always good to do a lot of brain storming in advance! Sometimes we do overthink certain aspects and some other times further down the road we find "surprises" (daumn, not really, why di I not think about it earlier). Engine bay heat and dust, as well as engine tuning (or "component...

Agree with MSA! Especially with MAP or load request monitoring you can find a smart way to eliminate any possible restriction at mid throttle ... but the thing is: at part throttle a possible restriction might not get noticeable anyway for the driver. What might happen in those typically...

yep ... I do ... thats why I was digging for so long! (still am ...) (shitt ... fun is costly!)

here a 3 D schematic of the APD HV_pro 16s: BAD ASS ! (12 mosfets per phase!, I did not even start to count the power caps!) https://tinyurl.com/y6jdyr4v whatever : this thing is worth it!

yes of course I know Torque ... I have a Torque pro on my phone. But there is no need to reverse engineer everything! There is a very nice python library which implements the ELM327 serial AT command protocol to do all kinds of chit in software. Not saying that python will be the final...

The reason I am a bit "enthusiastic" right now is slowly I am starting to understand certain bits and pieces a bit more. And yes, my ambition is not just to solve "my specific" challenges (my car, my setup, my mounting/fixtures, gauges/switches/cables, etc ...) but to go towards a "kit" which I...

Trampa VESC 75/300: Looks like their FOC control loop is taking up too much processing time ... for 60kHz switching frequencies (to make ~200000 erpm) they use some tricks to skip one cycle via flag setting in their software. So either APD is using similar "tricks" ... or Vedder and community...

yes of course I am following your project too! I am impressed with your "fabrication skills" in your early video when you adapted the motor to the turbo ... and I liked your grommet poke stick as well ;)(y) Regarding the MGM controllers ... they max out at 200000 rpm as well! The MGM web site...

VESC 6s have a theoretical limit @150000 erpm! On a 2 pole motor thats good (LMT e.g.) On a TP motor with 6 poles you would devide 150000 / 3 (number of pole pairs) => 50000 shaft rpms max! That is "theoretical borderline" for a TP5860 with 1000KV at 48 V ... The APDs have a "limit" at 1000000...

so ... after some time we find the right info! I like the explanations given here a LOT: https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?url=http%3A%2F%2Fforums%2Eoffshoreelectrics%2Ecom%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D58445&share_tid=58445&share_fid=22167&share_type=t&link_source=app MGM esc programming...

... in da meantime no worries ... we continue carrying the flame! (all kinds of chit in da mail ... waiting is a torture!)

if you search in youtube on how to control an ESC via PWM e.g. with a Rasberry Pi (or Arduino): Rasberry Pi (and derivatives) single board computers come light and cheap up to "nearly desktop power" (still tiny and cheap)! With the 40 pin I/O (GPIO, ADCs and I2c and SPI all there!) you will...

welll ... thats the minimalistic way! There is a guy on Youtube who built a eCharger with MGM components who does exactly that in a small box with Arduino ... let me dig that out again. ... ahh, here: My "vision" goes a bit beyond 😛 Btw ... if you look at the VESC 300 hardware you can get...

one more hint hint for the software geeks: here a project which implements Andoid Auto protocol on an embedded device to talk to a cars head unit 🤩: https://github.com/tomasz-grobelny/AACS

yep ... absolutely!

Here you can find lots of "inspiration": https://vesc-project.com/ unfortunately the VESC/openESC boards while partially having some processing power and cool input and software features are not as strong on the motor side ... max 300 Amps continuously only. And to be honest : I would rather...

The eBoostController I am thinking off will sit BETWEEN CAN data/additional sensors (Input) AND (PWM output) APD ESC! I have looked at the OpenESC project where they have lots of functionality on the ESC board itself ... but their motor side is not as powerful as the APD!

Modern EFI vehicles often provide both TPS (taken at the Throttle Body and after ECU applying DBW mapping tables and more smart heuristics. This is considered OUTPUT of the ECU!) AND PedalOut (taken as INPUT from the pedal in your cabin) on a "bus". So ... TPS as trigger reflects more the real...
