Here I took advantage of already owning an electric lawnmower, figuring that the 40-volt, 4-ampere-hour battery I had for it would serve well. The handlebar-mounted controls connect with an Arduino, which interprets their settings and translates them into a PPM signal, which is applied to the electronic speed controller.

There are also videos on Youtube where people change the pack the DIY way or the individual modules, but be aware to only buy individual modules from a trusted source. One of our 2006 Prius’ pack needed servicing and it only cost a few hundred dollars to fix 7 modules and change the bus bars connecting the modules by a hybrid shop.

Searching the interwebs, I found no shortage of leads about how to build a DIY seismometer. The problem is that the DIY seismometer designs I was seeing were large and ungainly contraptions. I investigated what some other Web-connected Raspberry Shakes had recorded during that earthquake. I used a Raspberry Pi Model 3B+.

Oliver Keller at CERN’s S’Cool Lab has created a DIY particle detector that relies on inexpensive silicon photodiodes to detect alpha and beta particles (helium nuclei and free electrons whizzing through the air, respectively) and estimate their energy. In addition, the design requires its own power source, in the form of a 9-volt battery.

50 inch aluminum plate as the first step of connecting the transmission to the electric motor. My plan was to connect the two Clark forklift motors together end wise. I found and bought a Caterpiller electric fork lift truck, the end result was that for $600 I got three 48 volt dc mortors, and a controller.

Now I need to upload the settings need for my 8 LG Chem 44 volt batteries. I am planning on tapping in to each cell manually and then connecting each battery individually to make sure each battery is recognized by itself (after triple checking with my multimeter of coarse). Once all the batteries work with the Orion BMS.

volts, and draws 400 milliamperes in steady-state operation. A rotary controller connected directly to the Nano lets you set the time. In the past, OCXOs were power hungry and bulky or expensive, but in the last few years miniature versions have appeared that are much cheaper and draw way less power. The OCXO resonates at 10 megahertz.

volts that would otherwise be going into the cell. They simply need to be connected to each cell only. I named them Volt Blocher. There will soon be two others using the Volt Blocher units. Dimitri and Jim have ordered their DIY kits and will hopefully have them up and running soon. LiFePo 4 cells are 3.2v

For tachometer, I will be using a sensor ring on the second shaft end of the motor connected to a new instrument. Motor volts, amps, temperature will be showed on 2 inch round dials in the place of oil temp, 12V battery voltage, and fuel level. A new 'A' pillar instrument cluster will show battery pack volts, amps, and DOD.

It wont be a ruse either, as Scout promises to build unparalleled DIY, back-to-basics simplicity into these trucks, with an approach that makes them easy to repair yourself. Scout will, on one hand, offer a look back to the past: rugged EVs with squared-off styling inspired by the classic International Harvester SUVs made from 1960 to 1980.

November 2018 Hands On article, “DIY Pro Audio ” in IEEE Spectrum , and it convinced me it was possible, although I wanted to go beyond just a power amplifier to something more like my lamented Sansui. To this board I also connected a tap along with a low-pass filter and output—just in case I decide to build my own subwoofer speaker!

Although these problems can root in various reasons, such as a loose electrical connection, a blown fuse, or even parts that excessively drain your battery, getting your vehicle up and going again need not be overly complicated or painful. With the engine turned off, the multimeter should read 12 to 13 volts.
