Over on the UK Battery Vehicle Society forum several of us have ben working hard on an open source BMS for various types of cells using an easily basic programmable Picaxe 08M - PIC12F683 chip. There are several flavours of board/design including analogue mode and digital mode Slaves with a Master board and video display module. It's a work in progress but is already running in one vehicle, nearly ready for mine and being adapted by others for pb cells. All the updates appear on this thread, it's 26 pages long but worth reading to see the development and ideas as they have come along. Perhaps members on here may be able to contribute to the discussions. Regards Peter UK (Ex Solarvan) http://batteryvehiclesociety.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1245 |

Hi Peter Very intersting project your working on. I've seen that you have made videos about this project and allow myself to post the latest one here. In what type of cars would such a BMS be best used for? Any homebuilt EV, conversion or ...? Is your project just a testbench or are you planning to use it in your Insight? |
