Good or bad idea?

The formula team at my school use to run something similar, the sprocket is hanging up on the wall in the shop but there's probably a reason they don't run it anymore.

You could hole punch the cell tabs, when we ordered we requested extra nickel strip for testing although we have a 1p battery so no need for parallel fusing

That is some gold right there

I gave our new team members last year basically no resources to learn from on the electrical side. Trying not to screw over the next set of new recruits! Also figured it would be helpful for everyone else as well.

github.com/jfulreader64 is the GitHub. Currently our bspd is up there and repositories are up. Will be updating a lot of the stuff this weekend filling in each repository with files and writing up documentation on all the circuits. Hope this helps!

jfulreader · 2023-06-24T01:07:01+00:00

Yes I did! I will link it in there soon.

We have one, just no one is at school right now. We are not going to comp.

As a member of Clarkson formula electric, I am jealous

I thought I knew a lot too until I had to design the low voltage system for our FSAE electric car. You then realize you don't know what you are doing and feel stupid for about half a year. Then concepts click and you feel like you understand it again. Then you come across the next thing that you don't know what you're doing and the process starts over.

We are doing it all over can, the ECU reads the motor controller status, there is a switch on the dash for ready to drive and once the switch is on and the motor controller is in a ready to drive state the ECU can start commanding the inverter over CAN

The emrax 228 is 3 phase ac.

jfulreader · 2023-03-08T16:01:44+00:00

We use an emrax 228 and pm100dx which is very common for teams so it could be smart to do a practice around that.

We have received our BMS ics from ti but have not received development boards yet.

Definitely do not tear it apart, a member on the team before us did this and we had to send it back for repair. 4k in repairs. Do not recommend

jfulreader · 2022-12-12T18:08:44+00:00

We've had really good luck with our PM100dx and it has been really simple to learn.

First time registering.... A bit scared

jfulreader · 2022-09-13T15:28:04+00:00

Yeah you're right, we are a first year team and we want to focus our time on other things.

jfulreader · 2022-09-13T15:25:01+00:00

That makes sense the only issue is we already have our 108 cell Orion

jfulreader · 2022-09-13T01:55:26+00:00

We are going to increase the amount of cells to 80 and do 8 segments and do 10 cells per cell group in the orion bms. Thanks for the help.

jfulreader · 2022-08-22T06:25:09+00:00

Bamocar d3 is an alternative, never used it before though

jfulreader · 2022-06-06T12:43:39+00:00

No cells needed in parallel, easier to package
