Nissan Leaf and Zombieverter minimum components need?

[tom91]

I do not know if leaf spy works with just the inverter, I believe it could.

So the fact your inverter is not going to reporting correct values means the Zombieverter is upset and applies derates on throttle.

…do you have the temp sensor plugged in?

Mama Mia There rpm and temp sensors. I just plugged inverter and pdm connectors, as on scheme from wiki
Now all working. Thanks all for helping. Step 2 begin, bms and new battery cells

[tom91]

... Really?

[Taichi]

Why so important sensor's wires go outside stuck?
I think that wires go inside. On all schemes on forum or wiki without this connector. I'm so happy and sorrow at one time. Happy because all working. Sad because I'm so stupid:)

[tom91]

The wiring is per OEM nissan Leaf, so this is why people have omitted it from the zombie specific wiring information. Just like the resolver wiring.

The "simple" diagram to wire the zombie to leaf inverter and pdm is already complicated enough for most people to comprehend.

Okay well this is a bit ridiculous, but shows there’s much work todo for documentation

Hello all. I bought 16 x LG Chem 6s2p modules. Now i need to repack battery correctly.
As always have some questions:
UnderFuse.jpg in attachments. What is this black box with orange wire marked in blue?
Contactors.jpg: For what wires marked in yellow?
Its interlock marked in green?
For what connectors marked in pink?
To BMS and contactors or just to BMS marked in blue?
Positive and Negative contantactors marked correct?

[Bratitude]

Bit off topic for this thread.

Regarding leaf model upgrades, this is covered in other forums. I would do some research before asking.

But from my understanding that block box with the hv connector is the heat controller. But I might be wrong

The lite blue off the contactor tray goes to the lv plug on the outside of the pack

Black box in blue square is probably control relay for battery heating elements

Yellow marked wire PTC heater HV supply (comes to smaller orange connector outside battery box)

Green marked interlock, signal goes to BMS, which reports interlock condition in CAN message

Pink I have not checked, perhaps supply for battery heating relay supply? Do you have the battery hv harness, so you could measure it?

[Taichi]

There were indeed two heaters in the kit. Now that it is clear what is responsible for what, the main question becomes. Do I really need to restore the battery heating system? Where is the best place to place the temperature sensors? Thanks for the help.

Hello all. My project near finish line. So i want to know, anybody tried to make custom dashboard on small lcd display? Need some information or instructions. Thanks you.

zombie can output OBD-ii data, so you could interface with apps like torque pro or real dash. alternatively bigpie has a zombie display that runs on a lily go screen

Good evening everyone. The buggy is driving very well. There are a few questions about the parameters.
1) I can't change the reverse motor to on, the settings are not saved.
2) Is it possible to see the temperature of the PDM and 3 temperature sensors on the battery terminals (Connected to the BMS)?
3) Can I try to charge the car? What signals should be activated?
4) Is it possible to somehow understand how many kW are left in the battery?
Thank you all for your help

[Bratitude]

1. What do you mean can’t save “reverse settings to on”? That is a drive mode, not a setting. That is detrimental by pulling pin 53 high
2. Straight off the inverter and bms canbus, yes. Zombie dose not use this info. Leafspy I think can show you this info
3. If you are using the leaf d
Pdm, and have charger set to leaf pdm and the stock j1772 charge port then it should just work when not in run mode.
4. If you are using the isa shunt then yes it will count power and make an estimate. Leaf bms will also over can if you have the stock battery wiring

[Taichi]

Thanks for the answer.
1) On my buggy, the engine is on the rear axle. That is, now for it, forward movement is reverse. In the settings, there is a reversemotor item with the ability to choose (off, on, na). But this setting is not saved at all, it is always off. The system shows minus revolutions. I will say this, it doesn't really matter, after activating regenreverse everything goes briskly and the recuperation works correctly. Now I understand that this setting is only for the Outlander.
2) I tried connecting elm327 obd but it shows completely incorrect indicators. Later I will try the real dash app.
3) I used all the wiring from leaf. In order for charging to start correctly, the parameters must be:
interface = none used;
chargemodes = 3, Leaf PDM;
BMS_Mode = 4, LeafBms;
ShuntType = 1, ISA???;
12v on;
ignotionT15 - on?
din_start = off;
din_forward_or_reverse = off.
4) Near the large fuse there is a square sensor that covers the high-voltage bus. It is connected to the native BMS Leaf. Is this the shunt that measures the current with a Hall sensor? By the way, in the indicators I see the voltage to the contactors and the voltage on the inverter. If you turn off the relay, the voltage on the inverter will gradually drop.
5)This parameter throtmaxRev = 30% means that if I'm driving backwards and while driving I switch to forward direction and press the pedal, the zombieverter will only give 30% of the power to the engine to smoothly stop it. And the same when driving forward?

1.the oem inverter limits reveres power, no amount of - torque requests will change that, so you need to swap 2 phase terminals and revolver connections to trick in inverter into spinning the motor the other direction.

2. Start/ on need to be off

And the leaf pdm needs to have the pp cp lines connected as per the wiring diagrams in the wiki

Good evening. Charging started. OBD2 scanner showed temperatures on BMS temperature sensors 10, 10, and 16 degrees, maximum difference across cells 3.59v and 3.53v. Contactors turned on, everything is fine.
There was a problem with the ignition, start, forward and reverse buttons. Previously, to start the contactors, you only had to turn on the ignition T15. The contactors clicked and precharge too. Now, for the contactors to turn on, you also need to turn on the direction. It happens that nothing reacts at all. The web interface shows that everything is fine - there is voltage, there is potnom, but the buggy does not move. Has anyone encountered this problem? I can not fully understand the logic of the ignition->contactors->start.
Also, tell me how to change the wiring cos + to cos - and sin + to sin -? Or cos +- to sin +-? To move in the other direction? To swap 2 phases you will have to disassemble the engine =(

[Bratitude]

Post your prams. Start up dose not make sense. Your udcmin and precharge settings sound possibly wrong or your wiring is not correct

[Taichi]

Today changed 2 phase.
Maybe someone need cad file to cut it for himself? Can't post there dxf or cdr file.

[J0hannes]

Zip, rar or 7zip are supported file formats for attachments, so maybe you could share them in a compressed file?

The phase swap is not uncommon thing to do, so the dxf would help

[Taichi]

To make it easier to form bends, you need to heat the copper until it is red hot and immerse it in water. Just like hardening steel. The copper will become very soft. Over time, it will harden again. Thickness 1.5mm

Hello. Is it possible to implement an analogue of eco mode and full throttle on the zombie inverter. So that it can be switched with a toggle switch? At a power limit of 70%, I saw a maximum consumption of 130 kW. With constant drifting or driving in a swamp, one of the temperature sensors in my battery heats up. When the first two sensors are 15°, the third one heats up to 55°. It is necessary that when full throttle is activated, the buggy goes as fast as possible, regardless of possible damage or even fire. Thx for your patience and understanding.

[tom91]

Not implemented. you can implement if you can code.
