Here's an update: I spent some time browsing the troubleshooting forum and noticed that a wide variety of symptoms were associated with low/underperforming 12V batteries. Since that's a really easy thing to test, I hooked up a volt meter to the 12V outlet while driving. On my previous (2013)...

Hey guys, chiming in here with a third account of this problem! I took home my 2015 Leaf SV mid-December here in Maryland. Drove it 300 miles without issue, if I recall correctly. Then I went out of town for the holidays. Came back and I occasionally experience loss of acceleration like you...

OOOHHHH.... I had no idea that the feature could enabled/disabled by the user. Guess I should have read my manual more thoroughly :shock: :D

If I hold the button for 5 seconds, the window will go all the way up, auto-up or not :lol: But now I only have to tap it into the second-level up position and it will continue moving up after I let go, which is what it did when new. I'm more concerned that the speaker under the hood won't...

This project is fairly far down my to-do list, but I'm planning to incorporate it into my build of the CANary project. Reprogramming the chip on the stock board can be ruled out, since if we could even get a blank part it would be impossible to reverse-engineer if the code protection bits are...

Hey guys, glad to see the project is continuing. I've been busy all winter and haven't been able to play with the schematics of mbed module I was working with back in, what, October? I am still planning to try something with the VSP sounds when I get my CANary assembled this summer. I found...

I drive in D-Eco most of the time. When I want to coast, I just press the accelerator to the point where where it is no longer regenerating, and applying very little if any motor power. This is easy to do with the dash bubbles or power display. But I don't like driving in B mode in traffic...

The tutorial on using a USB flash drive has in big red letters to close the switches to connect the 15k pulldowns. I assume this means they are important.

I mean this board, which has a socket for the same mbed module we are using: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11695" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

TT, very cool page! That will help people decide if they want to buold one, too. I know I want to even more now.

That part is actually a Schottky diode with a max drop of 0.37V, but at the low currents we care about the drop will be more like 0.1V. If it works on the application board then it should work for us.

I found the same diodes that the application board uses in the same place, i think BA60A. Forgot to put the part number on the schematic.

I found my imgur login and updated my previous post with the schematic image. I am hoping to use the same enclosure design, maybe with a few tweaks. Making it physically compatible should not be too difficult.

I just ordered the mbed and Application Board that Sparkfun sells. I'll be able to test various audio playback and USB connections with it. I'm basing my circuit updates largely on the Application Board's schematic, which includes the 15k resistors. I made a first pass at the schematic. I...

Reading a bit on using the DAC output to play sound files, it may take a lot of CPU power. In that case, it might be better to use an external MP3 chip. Would streaming a wave file from the USB drive use too much bandwidth? I'm not too sold on the idea of anything but beeps in the cabin, so I...
