been lurking for years, and every time i have a question it's already been answered on here. it's a nice place.
but now i need help. been building different variations of low powered scooters and bikes out of cheap controllers and basically scrapyard finds and mobility scooters for awhile. im a welder and fabricator and the shop i work out of has a cnc plasmacutter i program, and also currently having an amada 2kw laser recommissioned in the shop this week, so that's exciting.. but i've always worked on a shoe string budget on my projects, and i plan to continue, but i finally want to go bigger.
was able to pull the HSG, inverter, and lipo battery pack out of a kia optima before it hit the crusher. for $100 for all of it. besides the locals here, mostly kiwifiat and amberwolf (i believe) i can't find much information on how i can get this thing powered up without spending $1k+ for a controller.
im going tomorrow to pull the inverter out of a gen 2 prius, and also if i can, i'll grab the ac compressor out of the prius aswell. i havent found much info on getting those cool ac compressors used in an ebike/scooter project, but if anyone has resources for that they can point me to, thanks.
so i guess what im looking for is to ask if anyone has a lebowski brainboard they'd be able to sell me so i can try and hijack an inverter ? or i'm looking at the open inverters aswell, but the lebowski just seems more my style. or if anyone else has any other ideas or resources to point me towards.
figure 120v 150amp's would be fine for the HSG right ? i obviously have nothing set in stone, and always learning, so advice and resources are welcome. and trying to get away cheap, but i'm also very much open to work trades and would gladly make you anything custom out of metal for parts i'm going to need.
