Thanks for this very useful video...I have a 2022 mini ev...with diag codes for all 12 csc modules...And i have to keep removing and refitting the HV battery to check this out...nightmare of a job...hopefully gey my arduino working soon...

[@PH-AUTOS]

Can i ask a favour...did you measure the resistance of the can h+l terminals on the csc modules...i think i have issues but struggling to find the info.

[@MiniLifeCrisis]

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I need, slow, methodical explanation of what to do and why.

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

Glad it helped!

How did you load bmwphevbms into arduino

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

I ran mine on a Teensy and used something called Teensyduino

[@phareztrinimand]

@@Good-Enuff-Garage ok, so you didn't use bmwphevbms ?

[@PH-AUTOS]

I am too checking out the teensy and arduino ide sw...it is not as easy as you think...I have massive knowledge in the automotive industry and electronics...but ive never done any coding and finding this a massive learning curve.

Hi,is it possible to connect from external 12v sme connector directly?

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

sorry,not sure I understand the question

[@homestead2607]

Thanks from me too. I’m just getting together all the battery related stuff for my conversion and this video is exactly what I needed.

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

good to hear, did you see the follow up to this series and how now we can control the BMW Safety Box?

[@hasger1941]

Many thanks for sharing this, until now we thought we had waisted our funds on purchasing these modules. We have the exact same modules 16s 60v with the onboard slave but they are not a whole 6 in series pack like yours. The question then will be where do we make the connections on the onboard slave cable for the 5v plus minus and the low and high ?? Believe the female plug off the module is a 32 pin

good info!

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

thanx!

Hi

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

hey

[@MikesTropicalTech]

I'm glad I stumbled on this! I've chosen SimpBMS for my 914 upgrade to 6 Tesla modules, but the SimpBMS boards are unobtanium right now or just wildly overpriced. I've done a lot with ESP32s so I'll port his code to my board and use the Bluetooth function to transmit data to a dash-mounted tablet that will give me all of the pack information along with my existing trip tracker and dynamic range calculator. Subscribed!

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

thanks, cool build, and 100% agree on the SimpBMS pricing in the States, found one eBay seller but still too much, keep an eye on OpenInverter.org I may attempt a group buy

[@MikesTropicalTech]

@@Good-Enuff-Garage Yes that's the guy I found him too. Great, I won't need it until February so I can wait a bit.

[@maciejpiekarz9960]

@@MikesTropicalTech Hi, did you succeed in porting the code to ESP32?

[@MikesTropicalTech]

@@maciejpiekarz9960 Sorry I´m in the process of moving from Thailand to Barcelona and don´t have my lab set up yet. When I get going again I´ll make another video.
