picked up a 110k stack, and installed a rough generic zombie harness.

along with all the other little hardware bits and clean up, truck is temporally back on the road running 2.22A, and ready for the journey over to the new shop in Victoria!

110kw in this truck is a lot ...

Just read through it. Awsome build and awsome truck!

I think I will be using the Nissan Leaf stack too.

Have you used it off road at all?

The Leaf stack with the Zombieverter is a good choice! Once you wrap your head around the wiring and software its so much simpler than a ICE engine.

I ...

Oh wow, have you got your build here on openinverter? Would be good to see it.
Yeah the Brat Industries stuff looks great, I'm in the UK though unfortunately. And I am trying to keep the costs as low as possible.
I have one Audi E-Tron motor so far, so I guess if I go down the route of 2 motors I ...

I don't have much in the way of updates, but I have been using the truck around town frequently. I seem to have worked out all of the j1772 charging issues.

This would be an awesome build!!!! I've converted a 96 Nissan D21 Pickup 4x4. Which direction you should go depends on how much fabrication you want to do. The easiest path forward would be to get one of the Brat Industries transmission adapters, a coupler, and a Nissan Leaf motor. I believe Brat ...

It’ll be tight, I was doing one saddle pack, with a drive shaft tunnel. Which would require the drive shaft removed to drop the pack. the king cab takes up more space unfortunately.
Being 4x4 the frame is quite different and the hardbody is wider. So you might have more depth!

as long as you can ...

Oh that should be fine, I just remember seeing much lower specs, perhaps my memory is not serving me right.

Are you going to make two packs under the bed?


I was thinking about making two packs under the bed or a single battery box similar to your 720. I haven't fully committed to a design yet ...

From my memory they don’t have a very high c rate

Yes, they are from Battery Hookup. The site claims 150 amps continuous and 450 amps 10 second pulses. That is about 1C continuous and 3.4C pulse. Will that be ok for general use?

The OE Nissan has 2.7Kohm between Proximity and group


I replaced the old extended j1772 port with a Phoenix Contact CCS1 port at the gas fuel door. This fixed the charging issue, which seemed to be a bad pp line.

I got 24 4s1p Sunwoda 2.2kwh vda355 modules for a ...

What does that say? Kohm? You disconnect it from the pdm?


I did extend the charging connection from the PDM to that gas port but didn't permanently mount it yet since I was going to replace it. I just received a new CCS1 port that I'm going to use to add the Foccci in the future.
Here is a ...

I can see byte 5 of 00x390 going to 0x8C at end of log which is an error state. It does show 0x88 when plugged in which is good.

What is the resistance of your charge port, proximity to ground?

Also what else is connect to cause the 0x7xx messages?

The only ...

because you are running a leaf BMS it automatically updates UDCsw

Do you have anyway to log the CAN bus it seems your PDM does not report the correct charge connector status. The info that is used to go out of charging.


Tom, I purchased a Innomarker USB2CAN adaptor and was able to use SavvyCAN ...

Thank you for confirming other issues resolved with version 2.20A update.

The Leaf PDM should have the plug state change to unplugged and that should stop the charging. Please provide your parameters as they are now on your zombie for review. (please provide as an attachment not copied into the ...

Here are damiens params. Damien does not run any pedal regen on his leaf setup in his BMW E46

Here are the truck ...

You should have made that clear. So when driving it slows to near zero the it shakes violently?

Change the "regenramp": 100 this is very high. same goes for your throtramp.

You can also try increasing regenendrpm to 200 or higher.


Tom,

So I was able to make it stop. It seems like the FS5W71C ...

Please post params for diagnostics.

Also why are you free reving it?!? This is not a real use case as there is almost no inertia.


I'm only revving it in neutral to show the issue in a safe way. The vehicle does the same thing in gear, but violently shakes the truck.

Here are the parameters ...

I just updated to the zombieverter 2.20, and prior to that I was on 2.17. With v2.20 I seem to have a major issue in which the motor will bounce back and forth somewhat violently as after it spools down. When it gets to about 0 rpm it will bounce between 0rpm and 1rpm until I force it into gear ...

[*]
I have introduced them along with the Nissan Leaf BMS, upon Damiens request as he will be using the Leaf stack (motor+inverter+pmd) and Battery in his truck. So these will be in the next release.


Are there plans to add the OpenInverter BMS to the ZombieVerter in the near future? When I reach ...

My knowledge is limited to official sw versions 2.05 & 2.17 which have been the base for the fuckery I've done in my fork --> unofficoal sw--> NO support on forum etc....

I'll tell you that at the moment, that's all you're going to get with AC charging, a click and then nothing. It is not your ...

I finally got the Nissan to charge with the Leaf PDM with the help of J0hannes. He kindly provided me with his fork of the ZOmbieverter code for testing. I took the Nissan for a 5 mile trip to the gas station for snacks, and the only issue I noticed is a drive shaft vibration.

Hi Sector7e
Could you tell me how you exported a copy of your Zombie setpoints and spot values as a pdf please. I have looked every2here but cant find how to do it. I have tried hitting the “Submit parameters to openinverter” button, but it just sits there spinning its wheels and nothing seems to ...

No there’s a missing can ID making it go into fail safe.
It’s a bug in the zombie code


How did you overcome this issue on your 720 build? Are you using a build of the GitHub fork with the fix? I'm I able to to manually push the ID with the OpenInverter CAN Tool? I will be moving in a few weeks ...

Hi Sector7e,

Great project and I am enjoying following it. You are about 12 months ahead of me, as I started my project this year. Very similar though, as I am putting the running gear out of a 2014 Leaf into a Holden Rodeo trayback ute. Mine Is only 2wd, but has the same ground clearance as the ...

I have the Hardbody moving reliably, but I can't seem to get it to charge. The Zombieverter will show it is in charge mode, but doesn't start charging. I'm currently using a 24kwh leaf pack at 43% SOH.

I'm attaching the Zombieverter settings in a PDF to see if I have ...

The Nissan went for its first drive today. Everything went well except a wheel well liner started dragging. The Nissan Cube steering column works great, and went into failsafe mode just like a Prius column.
