I have a question regarding (product) regarding (issue).
My hardware configuration:
-(drive type)
-(motor type/model)
-(drive firmware version)
-(other details)OSW simucube/ioni 20Nm from Simplicity
Problems arise when:
-(describe how/where it happens)
Braking/turn in/over Krebs, cuts FFB and shows over voltage error.
How it behaves:
-(describe system behavior)
Having it cut out consistently with over voltage error.
I’ve updated firmware. Added a couple of volts to the FOV setting. Checked connections. Dialled down the max amps and FFB etc. Nothing really changes it. Sometimes lasts a few laps often lasts just a few corners.
Any suggestions of what to look at next?
How I would expect it to behave:
-(describe)
I have attached following files:
-(consider adding saved Granity configuration file .drc)
-(screenshots)
I also would like to share that (additional info).
Note: you can tag the best answer as solution. This helps others to find the solution to the same question.
It is possible, that there is an actual hardware fault on the device. What kind of case is the Simucube installed in -the acrylic or another type of case?
That is my thinking as well. If this is a device under warranty from reseller, I would suggest to consult with them on what is the best way to proceed.
The burned-out resistor can be easily spotted as the large white ceramic component on the circuit board would have a crack in it.
I still suspect Regen circuit failure, overvolting is quite common symptom of that, especially looking at your settings above, which all seems inline with what I would expect…
Can you perhaps just push ‘Measure Resistance & Inductance’ button under ‘Machine’ tab?
Yep, good point, that was also the FW I was referring to. But anyway, hw is the dual-resistor stack setup, I don;t think I have seen any failures on them…or perhaps Brion’s was one, if memory serves…
A little background. The sim is with a race team I work with and remote from me, so I’m logging in via Teamviewer to do this, so I’m working a bit blind.
I haven’t updated Ioni FW yet. Was trying to perform the motor test.
