how to use E60 cruiscontrol for Drivedirection

[medo]

Hello everyone, I drive the E60 and since the electrical conversion the cruise control is no longer working, but now I would like to use it to control the drive direction, can someone help me to reprogram the e65_shifter class, it seems to be a 4 byte message with counters, I have created a log

No. this is not something the Zombie will support.

How will you indicate the selected direction to the driver? Does this appear on the dashboard?

[medo]

Yes, it is displayed normally in the speedometer, in terms of function, it is basically like a BMW gearshift, just different canbus messages, e.g. push backwards = reverse, pull forwards = forwards, up or down = neutral, and push in = park position.

It is your project you can do what you want.

It will not be done for you by me or allowed in the Zombie "standard" firmware.

[medo]

it was only meant to be for me, and not an official change to the public firmware, unfortunately I can't program, even though the F30 shifter class looks very similar, that's why I just asked if someone could help me implement it

No one will help you do such thing as this is life critical matter.

i see what you are trying to do and can be done.

i actually got E60 cruise control to work with zombie and with that stalk.

and before tom shoot me " I WILL NOT SHARE MY CODE AND WILL NOT HELP YOU TO CODE THIS SPECIFIC FEATURE". and i don't have my code online so cant share it.

but for the sake of giving you help.

you need to identify the can messages from the cruise control stalk. then link them to gear select like the f30 shifter does.

then need to send the correct message showing the gear and direction the car is in. so you can see if you are in park or drive or reverse on the dash.


all that is doable and i did it but unfortunately it is one of these things that are critical and no one will attempt to help you as this is life threatening.

[medo]

I don't understand why this is critical if the cruise control is out of function anyway and the CAN messages are going nowhere, but OK, I have to help myself somehow

The phrase "life threatening" is used rather frequently lately... Come on, you're translating a button press to a direction command.
I've published code since 15 years and people sometimes got into trouble using it. Heck, I'm even selling hardware with the code on it. Yet no one ever tried to hold me accountable because so far people seem to understand the implications of a DIY community.

I get where you are coming, but im talking from personal experience.

zombie code has no cruise control enabled. it was intentionally disabled by Damien. i tried actually enabling it since i got the controls to talk.

well lets say there was un commanded full throttle and I got it under control some other way. that specific incident cause a big trouble and disagreement and almost hatred between me and X Y Z persons.

OP want to use this to control the direction which is OK not throttle code. but if it was to automate cruise like i did this is something i don't trust the capabilities of someone cant code it.

if you don't know how to code it you are not fit to test it.

Johannes you are someone who wrote a whole VCU and Inverter code so i will take your code and pay money for it.

but someone cant decode a CAN message and link it to s specific variable sorry i wouldn't trust a car that runs by this code.

I did share snippet of code that isn't related to throttle or motor controls or brakes. i don't agree with flying binaries or hexes too.


if the author asked for the can messages for the stalk i can provide this but he is asking for someone to code it.
