PriusPlus History-Schematics
This is where you will find schematics and PCB layout files for PriusPlus conversions.
Heads-up from Ron Gremban, 3/10/06:
In the next few days, I will be making a large set of revisions to these schematics, to:
- Add the ability to switch back to the OEM battery pack at will (important for PbA battery packs, which are unreliable at low temperatures, and during the testing process)
- Improve compatability with CAN-View, which will now be the first and recommended BMS spoofing and EV-mode automation system (I am actively working with Norm, CAN-View's creator, to ensure effective automation algorithms)
- Move all high voltage circuitry off the low power control board
As part of a Prius conversion to be done over the course of the Inaugural Maker Faire, April 22-23, we will be dramatically improving the documentation of the basic PbA PRIUS+ conversion process. We will also be publishing complete parts and supplier lists and designing prited circuit boards for the electronics, which we will find some way to get produced for sale afterwards. If you live close enough to get there, please join us to observe a real conversion in process.

Note: It might be good to have various types of schematic sets. For example a higher level version might include an automatic switch over from the stock to the added battery pack, adding a DPDT contactor on the HV mains and a complex battery tap coupler relay board. An example of a lower level version might exclude the various interlocks, center pack relay, and simple isolation relays instead of opto-isolators. Though neither might prove particularly practical they would help by offering various potential design layouts which might be more adaptable to platforms other than the 2004-2005 Prius.
