zombieverter firmware update needed

[mattes]

I am stocked. Just my my zombieverter VCU delivered.
Prepped it all up. I am able to access it via WIFI a http://192.168.4.1

I get an immediate response "file not found" and a couple of secs later the update page shows.


I was reading somewhere that the firmware is already pre-loaded. But it seems not.

I downloaded images from 2.17A from here: https://github.com/damienmaguire/Stm32- ... /tag/2.17A
stm_vcu.bin
stm_vcu.hex

Not sure which one is the firmware file, so i tried both.
When I trying to upload the firmware file, I get the magic error on both.

Secondly what is the filesystem file and nwhere do i get it?

Sorry, not very familiar at this point how to proceed. Is there some kind of zombie primer to get over the first hurdles?
That defintely would help out a zombie newbie.

I was searching on the openinverter forum, but so far no luck.
Thanks in advance your help is appreciated.

Delivered from Damien?
The message youre seeing means the wifi module is missing local files that contain the web interface.
Search forum for curl, that should bring up solutions

thanks johu for the quick response!
yes, zombie board was send out by Damien.

I guess I figured how to load the needed files for the web server on the wifi board.
Its' pretty much all the files from here:
https://github.com/jsphuebner/esp8266-w ... aster/data

Code: Select all

ajax-loader.gif               docstrings.js          icon-trash.png     jquery.core.min.js.gz  modal.js     syncofs.html        wifi-updated.html
chartjs-annotation.min.js.gz  gauge.min.js.gz        icon-x-square.png  jquery.knob.min.js.gz  plot.js      ui.js
chart.min.js.gz               gauges.html            index.html         log.html               refresh.png  upload_webfiles.sh
distribution.files.lst        gauges.js              index.js           log.js                 remote.html  wifi.html
distribution.files.lst.orig   icon-check-circle.png  inverter.js        logo.png               style.css    wifi.js

Here is a small bash script that helps to upload all in one go

Code: Select all

$ cat upload_webfiles.sh 
#!/bin/bash

IP=192.168.4.1
# curl -F 'data=@ajax-loader.gif' http://$IP/edit
# cd esp8266-web-interface/data

for file in *
do
   echo "$file"
   curl -F 'data=@'$file http://$IP/edit
done

After reboot things look now much more promising. Seems like the VCU board already has the latest 2.17A firmware loaded. nice



Can as well access 'parameter' option and more. Well I guess I keep going from here and configure the VCU for my setup, to control a Leaf 2021 powertrain with inverter and batterie. Plan is to use the leaf car as a test harness. Once I (or lets rather say the zombie VCU) is in control of it, I will use the car as a donor, to convert an ICE MT vehicle.

All new stuff for me. So I appreciate any pointers.
What is the good 'primer' to get started on a LEAF conversion?

Nicely solved!
Bratitude on the forum sells mechanical Leaf adapers.
Logic-wise you're set with Zombie
