Re: GS450h Oil Pump Controller Wiring?


When throttle is applied the rotor tries to spin but jerks and fails, but I'm assuming this is because the oil pump isn't running.


?!? the oil pump has nothing to do with the spinning of the motor directly.

The failed checks also give a dump of where you fail :) but if AI can format for you even better.

Maybe useful to ask it to generate documentation?

Re: [DRIVING] 1940 Chevrolet with Tesla Motor

Assuming someone else MAC address and thus the derived right to charge, or worst yet billing to them when you charge should be avoided at all costs.

You will be leaving ALOT of data traces when charging, so careful not to draw too much attention or do anything that be viewed as illegal.

Re: [DRIVING] 1940 Chevrolet with Tesla Motor

The MAC address (which is fixed on the Foccci firmware at the moment) is usually used in the backend system to identify vehicles and then try to couple them with customers. Instead of relying on a RFID tag/card.

Tesla opening up their system to others will relay on something to couple vehicles to ...

Not how OI works, all spot values can be sent or recieved over CAN so its upto you to configure.

Both the params "ChargeCurrent" and "enable" needs to be received over CAN to reset the timeout, the time out is spotvalue "CanWatchdog"

Re: Zombiverter Din_Brake will it trigger BrakeLight D_out

Who knows, its a completely different code base. also I believe the tesla boards were running low on IO pins so some functions were not included.

Re: How- regen control with pressure sensor

Zombie only does an on off brake sensor. There is no Analogue input for brake position thus regen request mapping.

Regen level change is only done on speed.

Re: Bunky the eBug: A 30 Day EV Conversion

Resistor will be fine. Have a look at precharge relay.

I would in all fairness be most worried about the OEM BMW electronics, they likely will have an overvoltage limit in them. Probally around that of the contactor voltage.

Re: HOWTO: ESP32 Drop in replacement boards

Few notes:

1. Best to use the ESP32 with CH9102 as this one just works out of the box. The other variant from the link does not work directly.
2. If you are doing development or upgrading the firmware on your OI device (like zombie) and do not get the expected firmware version or expected changes ...

I would suggest you review the specs of all the components in the Sbox before utilizing them with 8 modules instead of 6.

Re: Zombiverter Din_Brake will it trigger BrakeLight D_out


I ended up modifying the code so that when the bake is pressed the BRAKELIGHT goes on.


I would strongly suggest you do not rely purely on the zombie to turn your brake lights on and always retain the "OEM" method and parallel the zombie one. If the zombie fails for whatever reason you still ...
