How to prevent motor rotation on zombie

Post by evMacGyver »

Need to prevent motor rotation when driver door is open, what would be correct way to do this?

Door status is read from CAN and if I change throtmax on vehicle code, it would require trigger Param::Change(Param::PARAM_NUM paramNum), or change some parameter from webui.

Not the best way to (mis)use some vehicle function, like GetGear which is not used in my case.

Thinking out loud, this may have some drawbacks.

Why not have the door switch cut off 12V supply for the drive direction selection if you use switches?
Door open —> vehicle goes in to neutral.

Looking at the modification rules again, looks like I may need to figure out a solution to this one also😁

Maybe I'll just use the brake in signal in Zombieverter, that blocks throttle command. At least it should...

Then again for a pre October 2002 it says that driver needs to be notified when exiting, if the vehicle is in a mode which enabled active driving. --> Buzzer or a flashing light maybe🤔
