Ok, so some tweaks on the pedal parameters make a HUGE difference. I was able to get the accelerator to behave “normally”, and was able to get the regen to work with the brakes. Acceleration is good – better than the 1.8 liter engine. Braking is GREAT! Dang, I sure don’t need those high-priced brake upgrades now. 🙂
So now I get to do some fine tuning on the pedal, and it will be driving like a REAL car. 😀 I was able to pull only 90 amps, so I know there is more to push through.
Seriously, though, I was able to get up to 30 mph in first gear with no trouble, although there is a lot of vibration at 5k rpm, so I will have to pull the motor and balance the flywheel. *sigh*
So now I am waiting for the replacement DC-DC converter (previous one sadly fried due to operator error) and some cable components so I can rewire the BMS circuits.
The BMS works fine except for banks 5, 6 and 8. Oddly bank 7 is fine, but I will rewire it also, as it uses the Cheap Cabling. Hopefully this will take care of the communications errors with the BMS.
