Hi all,

I'm wanting to send CAN messages, using the web interface, to some speedhut gauges to show MPH. I've been told I can use the 'speed' section of can messages but I don't know where to start.

Why tyres are 185 65R15s (it's a vw camper).

Please give answers for the 4 boxers on the web interface.

Thanks

Do you know the Can ID the gauges expect to see the speed message on and the format of the message?

Towards the bottom section "Mapping Values through the web interface"

This again is open inverter so there is no variable road speed gain at the moment. So you need to bake this into how you setup the RPM / Speed (motor) to convert it to a vehicle speed value.

Did Zero-EV/Fellten stop selling Tesla Drive units?

Yes, say the display expects road speed in mph as an integer and the speed to mph ratio were 100 (1000 rpm equals 10 mph) then you'd enter 0.01 as the gain factor. Since 5.27.R the gain can be more or less float so that is now possible.
don't be surprised that after setting it up the gain will show as 0. That's because the print routine is still limited to 5 binary digits (and thus roughly 1.5 decimal digits)

Not sure,

I used to have

CAN ID 599
Position 0
Bits 16
Gain 10

This was under a parameter titled 'roadspeed'

And what was "roadspeedgain" ?

Sorry, I didn't have a setting for roadspeedgain

Upload your .JSON for the Zero-EV firmware it is in there for sure.

Line 10 "roadspeedgain"
