Firstly thanks to both Tom and Damien for their work on the zombieverter hardware and software. But, sorry i may be missing something, I don't see anything on the wik...

Add Outlander Charger to zombieverter chargers

Would it be possible for some one to add the outlander charger to the list of chargers for the Zombieverter. If it is a question of time, then if anybody else would like to have this done maybe we could raise some funds as per Johu suggestion re rewarding people for there time and know how.

Re: GS450h is jerky

Hi,
I don't know if you have tried reducing the throttmax setting in the software. If I set this at say 30 the car is more driveable for me anyway. Latest version of the software is the one I am using.
Good luck

Re: Can1 not working on Zombieverter

I have checked pin 5 of the SN65HVD230 I used and it does not need to be connected to anything which is the same as the VCU. Can anyone confirm if the IVT is connected to Can 2 it will work as long as the vehicle canbus is not connected as well? If it will work I am probably chasing 2 problems, faul...

It's amazing what you can do with a disc cutter!
I really struggle to understand how these cost so much

Can1 not working on Zombieverter

Returning from an MOT test to actually have a fully functioning and road legal BMW Z4 with zombieverter and GS450h transmission and the car started playing up. Long story short the 12v battery voltage was so low that everything went haywire. Before discovering this and as it was pouring with rain I ...

I can't see an IVT shunt. The Zombieverter will look for an hv signal when precharge is energised. If it does not see HV on the canbus from the shunt the inverter will not be turned on by the Zombieverter.

Hope that helps

Re: Zombieverter or Lexus GS450h VCU that is the question.

I think he enabled it for the dino but is unsure about letting it out in case someone drops it into first at to high a speed and the programming does not compensate. I think it is a similar reason for regen i.e. car suddenly reversing.

Re: Zombieverter or Lexus GS450h VCU that is the question.

Very glad to learn as to why regen was removed, seems very logical, I wish I was able to do coding for such things so I could contribute to the zombie situation but unfortunately I'll need to remain patient on the sidelines. Cheers for the info. Crasbe does your code include gear change? As I would...

Damiens route seems a very sensible approach and it will be interesting to see the results. Re, beating the tar out of the e39. I am not saying that this is not a harware problem. However, prior to 1.11 my car showed the torque cut and Damiens did not and mine is fine now, so it is unlikely that the...

One thing to note which may be unique about my setup from most people is that I'm running 600v nominal.

Would this increase the likelihood of noise?
Is it possible to easily split your pack down to say 400v to see if it is too much voltage?

UPDATE. I took the time to replace the four twisted serial cables to screened cable. The shields are all soldered to one wire near the inverter plug then this lead approx 20cm long connects straight to the inverter casing. The inverter itself has a seperate ground strap which goes to chassis. The 4...

Re: GS450h Cuts Out on Heavy Throttle Application SOLVED

As per catphish my set up is, each serial wire pair is screened and the screen is grounded, and the inverter and box grounded with straps to chassis.
