Re: EM57 test run with bridge rectifier

This seems to be a bug in the Zombieverter software then. Even with PDU communication connector unplugged my setup WILL NOT run if I select CAN2 under charger parameters. The moment I do that the motor won't spin, still able to get temps and Comms from inverter but the motor doesn't respond to ...

Re: EM57 test run with bridge rectifier

Bratitude I`m not really sure what you`re on about?

Not sure why you are telling me again that testing and wiring are important either?

I clearly stated that I checked all my wiring numerous times and the wiring never was at fault. I did all my checks with multimeter as previously stated. My ...

Re: EM57 test run with bridge rectifier

It works!!!!

So yes, charger and inverter were connected to CAN1 but with the auto refresh and somewhat buggy interface on the cellphone it looked like charger param was set to CAN1 but it was in fact not.

I'm not sure why charger has to be on CaN1 in params for it to work? I don't fully ...

Re: EM57 test run with bridge rectifier

Both PDM and Inverter are on the same network. I've also since solved my precharge issue.

I've checked everything over may times again, I think I'll have to wire in an ISA shunt.

I'm not sure how to do a CAN capture unfortunately

Re: EM57 test run with bridge rectifier

Some more information:

I have now confirmed that the Zombieverter doesn't seem to "output" the "pull to ground" signal for the main negative contactor. This is supposed to be from pin
31 on the Zombieverter.

If I manually put the negative main contactor in a. "Always on" state then I get the ...

Re: EM57 test run with bridge rectifier

So you are saying that I should be able to test it like this without a current measuring device like a shunt?

Re: EM57 test run with bridge rectifier

Thank you Bratitude everything is wired to CAN1.
When T15 goes on it immediately goes into run mode. Negative contactor wired to pin 31 on zombieverter

EM57 test run with bridge rectifier

Hi all, I did try and find my specific issue using the search function. I got similar results but not quite what I am experiencing.

Ive got the openinverter board wired up to my gen 1 leaf stack. Throttle calibrated correctly, able to get it into RUN and DRIVE states easily. No matter what I do I ...
