Where'd you go?

It's been almost a year since the last post. Bad blogging. Here's why: I've been working on finishing the other BMW CSE. And now it is done!  (Well, is a project like this ever really done?)

The BMW CSE I built for my son-in-law

Working on that car has kept me from doing much to mine. That said, I did finish the BMS relocation effort. It now lives in the back, above the rear batteries. 

The BMS Bubble turned out to be a bad idea so I relocated the BMS upside down above the rear batteries

I also had to replace the power steering pump in my car, as the old Mini Cooper pump shorted out.  I went to the local Pick-Your-Parts and pulled all the pumps from every Mini Cooper in the yard.  Now I have a couple spares.

Mini Cooper electric power steering pumps pulled from a junk yard, tested, and cleaned up

Now that the other car is done, I can re-focus on my car.  The bad news is that I harvested some fusebox components from my car to use on the silver car so mine is currently not running.  The good news is that I learned a lot on the other car that will inform decisions on mine.  

I'm looking forward to getting back into my project...

Going Analog in a Digital World

You've read about the fancy digital dash app I've written that displays all sorts of information on a display in the hole that used to belong to the tachometer.  But that still leaves four other analog gauges in the instrument panel: The speedometer, clock, fuel, and temperature gauges.  These are old school VDO gauges that just look proper and cool so I want to make them all work with this new digital vehicle.

We're Monitoring You

As mentioned previously, careless treatment of the Tesla battery modules can be catastrophic, leading to fire or other failure.  Therefore, it is important to monitor the state of the cells to assure they are in proper temperature and charge or discharge. To do this, a Battery Management System (BMS) is required.  I'm using the popular Orion BMS 2.  The BMS protects and monitors a battery pack by monitoring several sensors and using several outputs to control charge and discharge into the battery. The BMS measures inputs from cell voltage taps, a hall effect current sensor, and thermistors. Using the programmed settings, the BMS then controls the flow of current into and out of the battery pack by broadcasting charge and discharge current limits via the CANBUS to the OnBoard Charger (OBC).  During and immediately after charging, the BMS will balance the cells using internal shunt resistors based on the programmed settings.

Different strokes

As you probably know, I'm not converting just one BMW 3.0 CS coupe to Tesla power but two.  One for me and one for my son-in-law, Alex.  In fact, I'm involved in a third project for a customer as well.  Brett Perkins at P3 Conversions is handling that build and I just consult a bit but I thought it would be interesting to compare how each project has tackled similar problems in different ways.
