Re: outlander charger with zombieverter

In the current firmware release the Outlander charger is only working with the i3lim interface, but will be fixed in the near future to run without it.

I can send you my stm.bin file if you can't compile from the pull request.

Re: [Driving] MG F - Outlander Rear motor and inverter.

Useful data, thanks. Comes a little way short of what i was hoping for given the "paper" specs. The factory figures for a 1.6 MGF are ~9 seconds to 60. The outlander motor on paper at least has more torque at 195nm vs 145nm for the 1.6L engine. Peak current of 225A at say 350v suggests a ...

Re: [Driving] MG F - Outlander Rear motor and inverter.

I'm intrigued with the performance that this motor can provide, do you have any performance data? 0-60 time? What sort of battery power does it pull when at full send? Just had a couple of goes. But I think the phone gps is a bit laggy, got pretty much bang on 11 seconds according to Torque pro. In...

Re: Electric cars catch fire in Florida after flooding

Facts aren't all that useful for the remaining people that are ardently against EVs. Every one of them seems to have recently talked to a fireman who says most of his call outs are to EV fires. Then the response to anything stating facts or fires that were started by an ICE car like the Luton airpor...

Re: Zombie Firmware for ZE1 e+

That gen1 module will run any gen leaf as far as I am aware. I have personally seen it running up to 2019 leaf inverters and motors no problem.

I think the issue you have is voltage, pretty sure the lead needs a few more volts to run via canbus.

Re: Insuring your DIY EV in the UK

Got outright refused by the NFU for the MG, because of the age of the vehicle and the modifications. Strangely they were quite happy to quote for the 50 year old tractor with the same modifications. Ended up going with Adrian Flux at £636, annoyingly £40 more than the renewal quote back in June. I d...

Re: Zombie and SDO

Have got a theory from Mr Catphish on why it's not working. Doesn't look like Zombie has anything in CAN filtering to allow the SDO messages through. Will try and test it this week and update.

Oh yeah sorry missed out that quite important point in my last post. Didn't seem to work in either format. I think it's a Zombie specific thing, seen the new format working with the most recent OI firmware on an LDU board this last week.

Zombie and SDO

Another Zombie question. Has anyone used CAN SDO with zombie to change parameters? I a little lost on what variant of CAN SDO it uses. It looks like it references a branch of the libpopeninv from 10 months ago, so I'm guessing it would be using 0x23 as the command byte to change a parameter. Althoug...

Zombie Run Indication

Hi, just a quick question on the Zombie IO options. Specifically the Run Indication, is this active when the inverter is in run mode or just when it's in gear? I'm assuming run but hoping in gear.

Edit: Answered my own question. It is active when the inverter is in run mode.

Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info

I've had a good go at porting this code to the Zombie, but it's proving to be a bit more than my limited coding skills can handle at the moment.

I'll keep trying, but if anyone gets bored of waiting here is the cut down arduino script that runs the charger.
