Auto start

Post by catphish »

Not sure if I've just missed it, but is there any way to have the inverter enter run mode automatically at startup? Personally I've found the start button to be a bit of an unnecessary extra step.

It seems that if the inverter is powered, precharge is complete, and the gear selection is neutral, the inverter might as well complete the start process. If this doesn't exist, I will look at adding an option for it.

Doesn't yet exist except tying start pin to 12V :)

Doing just that with the VCU in the A2 conversion. Once BMS and inverter voltage match, I issue the start signal

I hadn't considered just tying the start pin to 12V. Obvious and simple solution. While the feature I originally requested might be useful, I think I will actually instead tie the start pin the the inverse PP (with CAN) so that it will start automatically but not if plugged in.

Thanks as always!
