That's not good. Your battery is at about 20% state of charge. You might try putting it on a trickle charger (4 amps or less) over night,...
I wonder if putting an LM317 between the Arduino and the car 12V would help. The car 12V is not stable, especially at startup. Cool project,...
That code, it is either the inverter, transaxle (MG2), or wiring harnesses. The problem is that you can't simply replace MG2, it has to be the...
