HVJB:

With the charging and DC-DC working on the bench, spent some time packaging and tidying the HVJB where the PCS will be housed. Toying with the idea of housing the Orion 2 BMS unit here too

Update: It's been a while since the last update, but there have been a number of odds and ends rumbling along in the background. Still waiting for the repaired motor to transfer case drive shaft so I can spin the wheels for the first time, but the Zombieverter and wiring looms have been transferred...

I would have a GS450H inverter available, based in Omagh

Excellent I should have one landing in the post very soon too so can join in

Did some more testing this evening. Starting off, the selector was raised from previous tests when I couldn't get it to retract. I played back all the Gen1 and Gen2 CAN logs using savvycan, and the Gen1 logs periodically activated the internal lock, changed the P-R-N-D-S lights but none lowered the ...

Can you get it to raise with playing back only the 0x3F3 of https://github.com/Tom-evnut/Land-Rover-Gearknob/blob/main/Can%20Logs%20Gen1%20Knob/Gen%201%20Knob%20Logs/awake%20raise%20knob.csv I will check this evening. Previously playing back some of the logs did raise it and allow it to turn but wi...

That seems to fit with the logs I have for my GSM. Have you tried the sketch I posted? Good question! I previously tested your code and it partially worked for me but knob would not retract (i do think it raised, and rotated though). But that was before I knew about the park input signal on pin 14 ...

I can send mine to you no issue. PM me an address and I'll get it in the post

Hope this can help a bit. I tested both the new Gen1 and Gen2 sketches on my unit. So like VanGogh, neither is getting any action from the selector. However, from previously running some of Tom's CAN logs from Savvycan, the knob did raise but wouldn't retract. When Gen1 sketch started running, the k...

d toggles debug for canbus

Apologies Tom, was using your sketch from the first link (gen 2):

I don't understand. Maybe my GSM doesn't work with this code? Because on the video of the seller from Aliexpress there is no mine. Does anyone have a video review of working GSM with arduino? How to make the knob move? I haven't been able to move it for 2 weeks now(((( I Send it the letter 'd', but...

Arduino Uno with Canshield code to have full control of the shifter. https://github.com/Tom-evnut/Land-Rover-Gearknob/tree/main/Can%20Logs%20Gen2%20Knob/LRgearknob Was having some compile issues (old CAN library installed, but when I updated to the latest, it required 3 arguments instead of the 2 u...

Thank you Tom. Are you seeing that for both the 12 and 22 way connectors, you only need 5 connections: - GND - 12V+ main feed - 12V+ Ign - CAN H - CAN L Or are there signals required on other pins also (just looking at LRBen's post re needing 12V on pin 10 of the 12 way connector also and wondeirng ...

Thank you for sharing Tom. I will try testing at the weekend on the gear selector I have

Real nice job, great project

Good progress, a good milestone

Thank you. So looks like I can swap over an ESP8266 from the Zombie for a test and save reprogramming the module that came with the GS450 VCU

Wondering if anyone is running Catphish's GS450H_v8 code in their setup? Does the wifi module need to be programmed specifically to work with this version? Or would a wifi module from something like the Zombieverter already be set up for it's OI web interface?

My HV test pack is around 86V I also tested the main contactor circuit with a small automotive relay. But that relay didn’t close either. Is Invudc showing close to your 86V in the web interface? Not sure what to suggest after that, the fact the small auto relay also fails to close might well flag ...

First thought would be settings in the web interface, especially udclim, udcmin, and udcsw. Possibly not related from your description and you've probably already seen this post but sharing a link I had discussing a HV+ contactor case I have https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=50338#p5033...

Good to see the 8e back

I got mine to lower! I got the pinout wrong. pin 4 does nothing. pin 10 needs 12v, then when you disconnect ignition it will lower. It does need canbus to raise though, but doesn't lower via canbus messages. Nice one, I'll check this out. I have the 22 pin connector on mine, so I expect one of the ...

On mine once I connect the ignition I get messages on the canbus and the backlight. ID 0x312 at about 20ms intervals. Canbus log attached. Sending the messages to raise and lower the knob seems to have no effect, similar with playing back logs from Tom. But possibly due not having whatever pin 4 is...

Looking forward to this build Have been watching Synchro Gearboxes' doing an older LR conversion based on the Leaf too and see they seem to do some nice stuff for the LT230 also, even the divorced setup.

I now consider trying to solve these myself but from experience the Zombie software is (for me) difficult to understand and debug. And with so few others using or developing it, there isn't a "critical mass" to help make progress when stuck. So I'm asking honestly if falling back to the a...
