Re: The ZombieVerter VCU Project

Personally i like more compile time changes and building with make 2 versions of the hex/bin. But i guess its a taste thing... the reason is that compile time variations means no IF statements in the code when we have a variation point. (higher performance). Also for the developer it makes it clear...

Re: ZombieVerter VCU Support

Does anybody have a suggestion how to solder this chip on the board correctly? I am using a hot air gun though but it feels like playing with lego while wearing boxing gloves. I am very close to throw the board into the bin and wait until I can order a board that is fully populated Really, it just ...

Re: The ZombieVerter VCU Project

So I doubt the GD_Zombie branch will run on a GD Ooff..

Anyone have suggestions? Looks like there isn't much option here, other than to crack open the casting and rewire it up from the terminal block. This is why I won't buy units from breakers online. Without seeing in person, there is no way to know what you are getting. Maybe you can return it? Some ...

With some more seat time, it does seem related to lower throttle inputs, and goes away under heavier throttle. Maybe I’m fighting drivetrain slack? Awe man sorry to hear that!

There's your problem. Throw and RF choke on each end near termination also for good measure. 👍🏽

I've edited the GS450H WIKI to remove the misleading information about the Camry inverter, and make it more clear, that this is still an unknown. There are numerous models of inverters in use in the Camry line. Since the Camry is a much wider application than the GS450H, there are a lot more variati...

Re: Lexus GS450H VCU Support Thread

So it seems there is a lot of confusion about using CAMRY inverters for this platform. My assumption is that users who have failed to get good results with the inverter are using the G9200-33020, from a 2007-2011 Camry NAFTA vehicle. This is the inverter that is recommended at the time of this writi...
