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 have the 12V wiring/relays to fall back on.

I think Tom is right; from a security ...

We tried but for various reasons without success so far.

We will give it another try this weekend. Keep you posted.

Hi Tom,

This aligns with our findings while we investigated the source code. But it is good to know for sure now. I have the board version with the single CAN chip, so indeed a lot of traffic.

Hi forum,

How should Zombieverter VCU interact with the tesla gen2 OBC? Both are connected over CAN2.

I expect the OBC to detect pp in the charge port and then send a "charge request" over CAN to VCU. VCU should then close contactors and signal OBC that it can start charging.

Is this assumption ...

I understand the dilemma: on one hand you want an active community contributing to a project, on the other hand you want the project to be ultra stable, because mistakes might cause serious injuries.

Two things might be worth considering: 1. should not the whole project be covered with unit tests ...

Simplification indeed, but some other reasons might be: maybe the SoC calculation of EMUS is more reliable, it can send individual cell temperatures and voltages to zombie (like simpBMS does), zombie can control the charging process together with the BMS thus making it more safe. Also in case of BMS ...

I’m doing a conversion which has the SDU, Tesla batteries, Tesla gen2 OI charger and the EMUS BMS.

I’m thinking about adding the EMUS as an option to the BMS already supported by zombie. This would then make the EMUS replace the ISA shunt (it puts voltage and current on the CAN bus) and control ...

Hi all,

How does Zombieverter, in combination with SDU (or LDU), handle the overcurrent event when it is not aware of the tripmode (=1) setting of the OI board in the DU?

Does it just not open the contactors while in drive mode? Or...

I just want to know for sure before deciding that combination ...
