Re: [WIP] Gen 2 Leaf Stack AWD Gokart

After getting the battery reassembled a week ago or so and getting the esp and zombieverter to communicate, it was time to merge them together with the leaf stack. After updating the zombieverter to 2.20.A to support the Leaf current shunt, I very badly wired it with alligator clips. After having ...

Re: [WIP] Gen 2 Leaf Stack AWD Gokart

Figured it was time to start doing some electrical finally after doing planning for a while.
Before doing the Zombieverter wiring, I wanted to check the health of the 24kwh leaf pack I have. I disassembled the pack into the 3 subgroups almost 1.5 years ago (I know its been awhile). So I needed to ...

Re: [WIP] Gen 2 Leaf Stack AWD Gokart

I got around to scaling the 3d models that I previously scanned. I made a video showing the files as well as how to clean up the 3d scans yourself if you want. Additionally, if you are designing a car body from scratch, I have some steps you can take for both the drawing out steps as well as some ...

Re: Connection problem between ESP and STM: Zombieverter

To wrap this up for anyone else that may come across this post looking for help, here is a video guide I made of how to program the esp.

This video includes a small unboxing, troubleshooting, how to find new parts for the boards, how to set up your computer to flash the esp modules, flashing one ...

Re: [WIP] Gen 2 Leaf Stack AWD Gokart

I received a new Zombieverter board but ended up having a bunch of issues with the esp module. After some troubleshooting over at: https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5725

We ended up determined it was just a bad esp module. I bought another one, flashed it, plugged it in and everything ...

Re: Connection problem between ESP and STM: Zombieverter

The new Wemos D1 Mini boards arrived. I uploaded the interface to one, soldered the pins on, and plugged it into the zombieverter. First try it connected and everything is up and running. Installed it into its enclosure and it's working great!

Solution: Buy and program a new wemos D1 mini because ...

Re: Connection problem between ESP and STM: Zombieverter

After a few more hours of tests, I have to agree.

I have gotten it to connect once today, and it was very stable. Of course, after a reboot it broke again.
To make sure it was not a power fluctuation issue, I added a big capacitor to the 3.3v line and that fixed the rst cause: 4 issues that ...

Re: Connection problem between ESP and STM: Zombieverter

Right after your last message I wrote some code for the arduino mega and read from the esp and got the same thing as previously.
So I waited for the FT232RL and the ST-link to arrive since I figured I was out of my depth there.

They have since arrived, and after using PuTTy at 115200 baud rate, I ...

Re: Connection problem between ESP and STM: Zombieverter

I have a serial adapter cable on the way, but when I plug in the board over micro B and read from the serial port over 115200 it results in this.

Re: [WIP] Gen 2 Leaf Stack AWD Gokart

That's awesome. I'll probably go that route then! I just got the zomieverter and was ready for testing, but I haven't been able to access any of those settings yet because I'm having a "Connection problem between ESP and STM" error when everything should be fine. I put the question in the "getting ...

Connection problem between ESP and STM: Zombieverter

Issue:
After connecting to the ESP8266 through the web interface I get the error "Connection problem between ESP and STM".

Precursor:
So I purchased a Zombieverter from evbmw.com, specifically the 350 Euro version. I received the board and the 2024/08/03 parts package. I soldered on the L4 and L5 ...

Re: [WIP] Gen 2 Leaf Stack AWD Gokart

I got a lot of questions about the drivetrain of this setup, so I decided to make a video of how I originally planned it to work from a full year ago against how it will now.
Hopefully, this video will explain any questions you may have, or possibly make more questions that you can ask and I will ...

[WIP] Gen 2 Leaf Stack AWD Gokart

In 2023 I bought a salvage 2015 Gen 2 Nissan Leaf. I stripped it all apart and even opened the battery pack to check its health.
So far I purchased the car, 2 Y38 LSDs, 1 G35 VLSD, 4 2013 subaru brz axles, wheel hubs, and a driveshaft.

January of 2023, I bought and stripped the car
September-ish ...
