While modifying the Chinese Diesel Heater and transferring control over to the Arduino, I started the issue with annoying motor noise from the fan motor. A viewer gave me an idea that I tried out in this video.

After a lot of problem solving and programming on the Arduino, I finally managed to get the Chinese Diesel Heater Running, without pump, just by gravity and a 2-way-valve. Nevertheless, the idea is to control the flame of the burner by lamda sensor to keep it running in optimum burning condition all the time. Stay tuned.

I'm building a smart BMS with ESP8266 chips and ESPEasy. Since comprehensive tutorials for ESPEasy and networking are rare, I struggled with the setup. But I learned and found a solution. I made this video to make things easier for someone else trying to do something similar.
Collection of the BMS-data is done via InfluxDB and graphing of the LiFePO4 health data is done with Grafana.

In order to obtain a quiet, non clicking Diesel Heater, I replaced the piston pump with a simple, cheap 2-way valve. This valve is still clicking, but much quieter. Now the challenge will be to find the correct parameters for the Arduino program, to make the heater controllable.

Since the clicking piston pump is annoying to me, I'm testing, if a Diesel Heater like Eberspächer, Webasto or Planar can also run without a pump, just on gravity. See yourself, if it works.

I'm planing to equip our fire-truck camping truck and it's LiFePO4 batteries with a self made battery computer. The first idea was of course to use a shunt. But then I found this little ACS758 chip and I wanted to find out, if I can use easily it for measuring the 150A that will be drawn by our inductive cooking stove. See yourself how the ACS758 survived.

Since I could not find a good explanation about how to dismantle the EGR for a Mercedes Vito with 2.2 liter Diesel engine, I figured out myself, how to do it without special tools. To help others with the same issue I made this video.
Deutsch: Da ich zum Thema Ausbau des AGR Ventils, beim Vito W639 mit 2.2l Diesel Motor, keine Anleitung finden konnte, wie dieses Ventil ohne Spezialwerkzeug auszubauen ist, habe ich dieses Video gemacht, um anderen in der gleichen Situation zu helfen.
