Re: Compiling firmware but not getting same hash

Thanks for testing.
Sounds like some settings are different or md5 is not suited for comparison?
I will try with SHA as well and report

Re: Compiling firmware but not getting same hash

To be more specific when I md5sum the 2.22A release bin file I get f049762ab6cfb0777ef8c31f59aeab1f
but when I compile it from commit 7a57524 (which should be the release commit, right?) I get 8d15f08ceef0c9ef8b0ed68567abb421

Re: Zombieverter PWM setup for dummies

Sounds good. I'll try that out and report if successful.
Shouldn't be a problem if 2Hz is possible.

What would be the "right" way (or position in code) to implement a temperature set point feature?

I know I asked a lot of those questions lately but I really want to learn about the OI environment ...

Re: Nissan Leaf (and Tesla) coolant pumps

here's the wiki page for reference: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S/X_Coolant_Pump



If you have a Zombieverter VCU I believe it can output the PWM required. I've not tried it yet but will report back when I do.

Re: Leaf Current Sensor instead of IVT-S [SOLVED]

Oh I missed that link ...
thanks for pointing me in that direction!

so this current value can be used for things like CCS by mapping the current value to the right message of lets say Foccci.


Thanks everything clear on my side now!

Great. And does the BMS report the current values to the CAN Bus? If so I would like to add this information to Nissan Leaf Wiki pages, as I think that's something to consider.

Re: Leaf Current Sensor instead of IVT-S [SOLVED]

Right, but as far as I know the last release made use of the voltage value provided by leaf interver.
Is the current value of the junction box also used? I don't think so as it is connected to the BMS and is never mentioned anywhere, so I thought it might be worth talking about it

Re: Leaf Current Sensor instead of IVT-S [SOLVED]

Ok thank you for the quick clarification.
The leaf current sensor is a normal hall sensor but with a small offset (0A => 3.25V, instead of expected 0A => 2.5V with normal 5V logic hall sensors).

So basically an ADC reading would suffice but the value needs to be mapped to CAN. This is option 1 ...

Leaf Current Sensor instead of IVT-S [SOLVED]

I was wondering whether we could use the current sensor of a leaf contactor box that is connected to the Leaf BMS?
The leaf inverter can measure the voltage for precharge so an IVT is not strictly necessary anymore.
Current measurement is needed for CCS and general limits but needs to be implemented ...

I compiled the current version of Zombieverter VCU firmware from https://github.com/damienmaguire/Stm32-vcu/releases/tag/2.22a
it loads the deps and compiles without problems. But when I compare the Hashes (md5) of my compiled .bin and the release bin they differ.

It is not usual practice in an EV, so can be removed at some point. Needs a bit of rework anyway.


by adding something like DigIo::prec_out.Clear(); to MOD_RUN?

Re: Precharge resistor guidance


one thing i came to notice is that the zombiverter leaves the precharge relay engaged and never turns off after the main contactor is active. Was surprised to see that.

This is a different behavior compared to the original leaf VCU. This turns precharge off, some seconds after the main contactor ...

There is alot of programming involved to get new pin functions in the drop downs. Then the matter of getting new functions to actually do something.

Re: I bought an ISASCALE Contactor Box - Now what?

Very intertesting offer.
I contacted the shop about delivery to germany but sadly didn't get any response...

I'd love to order the kit as most of it can be used without any problems i guess. The custom PCB is interesting but is it needed when using a VCU anyways? I don't think so.
