Progress has come a lot faster recently. I’m already moving past the first charge into troubleshooting the motor controller for that first spin-up. I’m anxiously anticipating the completion of this project before I have to put it away for the New England winter!

eSprite: Almost Ready for the First Charge!
Since my last post I fabricated the battery packs, prepared the car for them, installed the packs, and ran the HV wires and BMS. The car is now almost ready for the first charge. Before then, I have to ensure that my settings for the motor controller are correct, plumb the water cooling for theContinue reading “eSprite: Almost Ready for the First Charge!”
Engine Bay, Contactor Box & Battery Boxes
It’s been a while since I last posted an update on my electric car conversion project. I’ve been busy making progress (delaying), but I wanted to wait until I had something significant to share. The good news is that I’ve finally managed to make some forward progress. I finished the contactor box, and everything inContinue reading “Engine Bay, Contactor Box & Battery Boxes”
AC-35 Installed!
It’s been a rough couple weeks, but in that time I’ve completed a major milestone: landing the AC-35 electric motor! I spent some time mocking up the internals of the engine bay as well, just to verify that everything I was going to order would fit. Looks good! Definitely going to be crowded, but it’llContinue reading “AC-35 Installed!”
OpenCV, ROS-I, & ABB IRB1600 Industrial Arm
In my industrial robotics course at WPI my team and I worked to implement an object-following industrial arm using OpenCV, ROS-I, and an ABB IRB1600 arm. The premise of the work came from our senior design and fabrication project, where we intend to have a robot ‘observe’ invasive lionfish. To demonstrate progress on the visionContinue reading “OpenCV, ROS-I, & ABB IRB1600 Industrial Arm”
