I have a 2012 BMS by itself with batteries. I am using my own board, accepting standard SIDs, and sending standard SIDs. When I turn on the 12v power to the BMS, I am seeing IDs 475 and 475 sending their data very fast. I'm also seeing ID 1371 sending its data much slower, maybe 10 times per...

I have a 2012 BMS board (no car). If I were to hook up 48 cells to it, does the balancing happen automatically, or must I send a CAN message to turn on a specific shunt? I would like to just have the BMS be a black box that I can poll battery voltages periodically from my motor controller and...

Here's a quick demo of cruise control at around 1 mph or so (and 0 mph): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_RxZSd39VM&t=34s

At the 1:24 mark of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bXDnTx2MrM&feature=emb_logo I noticed the external plug that has the 12v/CAN/resolver wires. Is that easy to get a hold of? Does anybody have a link to a place I can order that?

Ya. Although, my insurance company told me I could only get a couple thousand if it was totalled since it was a salvage title, even though it was worth a lot more, so I didn't bother, because where I was living at the time never had much of any crime. Kansas City turned out to be very different.

He explained to me that I had to make sure not to work on it myself, because "that car has 30,000 volts". lol. And that it would kill me to repair the 12v system. I'm thinking of just using it as a test vehicle. I do motor controllers, and it would be nice to just gut all of the electronics...

The nissan dealership looked at it, and said it would be over $4,000 just to fix the 2 fuse holders, and then they think it could have shorted other stuff out if they did that before taking out the 12v battery.

Hi Lothsahn! We did get it back after a few weeks, but almost all of our stuff of value was already taken from the uhaul. And much of what wasn't taken was spread throughout the woods and had been rained on. I do have another question. Does anyone know where I can just buy complete new...

It was vandalism on top of theft. The car was still on the tow dolly behind the uhaul. The uhaul was really destroyed (not crashed, just manually vandalized really bad)

Hello, my 2012 Nissan leaf was recently stolen, along with my uhaul and everything we owned (in the back of the uhaul). The police found the car in the woods, but there was some damage done to it. Does anyone have an unbroken version of the attached pictures? I would like to be able to fix...

I'll be sure to post any progress w.r.t. replacing the controller. Tomorrow I go to get the title changed from salvage to "not salvage anymore", whatever they call it. It was a $60 fix, and the insurance company totalled out the car. haha. Well, I didn't paint the new panel yet, so maybe a...

My new Leaf was a wreck from an auction, but turns out it is in really good shape, so I don't mind experimenting. I'll start with sniffing and see what all the CAN messages are that come along, and perhaps get progressively more and more destructive from there. For me, driving a car around...

What roadblocks does a Leaf put up if you took out the Leaf inverter and stuck in your own? If I took over the contactors somehow, could I push the electronics out of the way and just drive? Or would the steering wheel, brakes, etc... not work? It would be nice to have infinite...

You are a national treasure. I found everything I needed! yahoo!
