Re: [WIP] Leyland 255 Tractor - Nissan Leaf EM61

Nice work, looking good. What are the legal implications of converting a tractor? Will you be able to drive it on the road? Shouldn't be any reason why I can't drive it on the road. I've already got it road registered with photos from before I stripped it down, then assuming it goes the same as the...

Re: [WIP] Leyland 255 Tractor - Nissan Leaf EM61

Been doing a little bit of work on this in the evenings when it gets too dark to work in the MG shed. Mostly starting on the 12v system, running wires for lights etc. It now has a full set of new tyres.

Re: Zombie and SDO

Have got a theory from Mr Catphish on why it's not working. Doesn't look like Zombie has anything in CAN filtering to allow the SDO messages through. Will try and test it this week and update.

Re: Zombie and SDO

Oh yeah sorry missed out that quite important point in my last post. Didn't seem to work in either format. I think it's a Zombie specific thing, seen the new format working with the most recent OI firmware on an LDU board this last week.

Re: Zombie and SDO

Bit of an update. Been trying both new and old format message. This current message is trying to change Throtmax which is number 25 on the param_prj.h. Trying to change the value of Throtmax to 10.

Can Id 601
old format: 40 01 20 19 40 01 00 00

new format: 23 00 21 19 40 01 00 00

Zombie and SDO

Another Zombie question. Has anyone used CAN SDO with zombie to change parameters? I a little lost on what variant of CAN SDO it uses. It looks like it references a branch of the libpopeninv from 10 months ago, so I'm guessing it would be using 0x23 as the command byte to change a parameter. Althoug...

Zombie Run Indication

Hi, just a quick question on the Zombie IO options. Specifically the Run Indication, is this active when the inverter is in run mode or just when it's in gear? I'm assuming run but hoping in gear.

Edit: Answered my own question. It is active when the inverter is in run mode.

Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info

I've had a good go at porting this code to the Zombie, but it's proving to be a bit more than my limited coding skills can handle at the moment.

I'll keep trying, but if anyone gets bored of waiting here is the cut down arduino script that runs the charger.

Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info

I have a 7.2kW Cayenne Phev charger which I think belongs to this family as well. Only has the one hybrid canbus and I have it running on Mitchy's script. Model number 5QE 915 681 BQ. I have narrowed down the required canbus messages to the following: 10ms: 0x191 100ms: 0x3C0 0x503 0x1A1 This is the...

Here is my github repo on the controller I made for it, hardware and software.

It was originally designed for controlling the Gen 2 prius open inverter...

Re: can id´s 4 Gear Selector

What message exactly unlocks and locks the knob? And what message does the knob drop down? On Gen 1 I think just switching off ignition 12v will lower the knob. You should be able to lock it by just not sending any canbus messages. Afraid it's been a while since I looked at this so I can't remember...

Re: can id´s 4 Gear Selector

Now the knob rotates freely. But in the car, it is locked and only when the brake pedal is pressed does the knob unlock. How to implement it? What data needs to be sent to the CAN bus? Wouldn't be too hard to implement. We know what canbus is used to lock or unlock the knob, you could run the brake...

Hi guys. I adapted LRBen's code for Arduino Uno with CAN shield. Now everything works, but there are a few nuances.
