Electrical Systems Current Status:
- CAN Bus
- Function in loopback mode
- Error during bus communication (most likely due to transmission identification)
- Pedal Node
- Both accelerator pots tested and working
- Both brake pots giving bad values
- Serial communication confirmed
- Engine Node
- Function voltage divider and servo control code for maintaining lower nominal voltages.
- Racing error when approaching 72V. I think this is because the voltage curve non-linear. Possible fix, larger resolution with custom gearbox.
- IMPORTANT: need to remove common bus between 12V and 72V line
- Motor Node
- Further testing needed for successful RS232 communication with Kelly Controllers
- Battery Node
- Need battery protocol
- Display/Safety Node
- Successful serial communication
- Successful LCD output
- Low power schematic and functional circuit defined
**NOTE: Serial communication is not the same as CAN Bus communication
Electrical Systems Add-ons:
- Display/Safety Node
- Netbook or old Android Phone:
- Large full color GUI with live monitoring
- Computationally powerful and WIFI enabled.
- Would allow real time network communication over WAN
- GPS enabled
- Client/Server Application
- Allow real time monitoring/tweaking
- Real time analysis and graphing
