Yea, the HPEVS AC-9 is awesome, but the price is out of my range.
The good news is that the encoder might be less of an issue then I thought. Curtis support told me that any quadrature encoder 4-pin speed encoder 5v or 12v in 32-256 PPR range would work.
A quick search on ebay I found 5v...
It's such a nice motor, it's a shame there is no easy way to get it working. I'll try to contact curtis to see if they have any type of over the counter encoder. The best would be if some electronic engineer could crack the OEM controller but I don't know any EE. The battery pack is nice too...
Yea, I try to rent a buick lacrosse but no luck I also posted on buick forums that I'll pay for 30min of their time and nobody was willing.
Ok, back to curtis controller, this sounds like it's doable. Is there a over the counter resolver/encoder for curtis controller or building one is the...
Got it, do you know if this type of motor can run with out resolver? I guess the resolver is used for it to be running in closed loop for battery regen?
The oem controller would be great to figure out as it's easy to obtain and cheep to get but nobody has canbus commands to run it. I'm new...
Thanks for replying. I have the eAssist system from 2013 Buick lacrosse, I think that is gen2. If you have any info on what controller can operate it, it would be awesome.
I have the motor sitting on my desk and I can't get it running with the OEM controller. It looks like running after market controller is the only way to get it running, but I don't know what controller would work. Let me know your new thread and if you found any more info on this.
I googled...
+1 I'm also looking in to utilizing the oem battery pack with inverter. By any chance did you made any progress in capturing can bus frames to see if they can be replay to get the motor turning?
