outlander charger with zombieverter
can anyone tell me how to use the outlander charger with the zombieverter I just dont get it,
set the canbus to the one the charger is connected to, set chargemode to outlander but then what ?
I understand that I have to monitor the charge port and power up the charger
I'm guessing that the Zombie monitors the charger status via the canbus and controls the contactors or do I still have to apply 12v to the hvreq
since I don't have the skill required to just jump into the code and go "oh that's how it works" can anyone enlighten me ? because I can't find anything

Re: outlander charger with zombieverter
Charginging is enabled/disabled by the Chgctrl parameter. Set to "enable" and it should close the contactors and start charging.

This pull request is to allow it to work, made by Ben
So having set charging allowed in the webinterface, once I believe. You can go into charging with the vehicle keyed on but not started (not in MOD_RUN). It should also go into charging with the ignition off, it does mean the outlander charger and zombie need constant power.
The changes Ben did will put the car into MOD_CHARGE once the Outlander Charger sees a Pilot duty of more then 0.

Re: outlander charger with zombieverter
In the current firmware release the Outlander charger is only working with the i3lim interface, but will be fixed in the near future to run without it.
I can send you my stm.bin file if you can't compile from the pull request.

Re: outlander charger with zombieverter
Ok so thanks for the reply's but still not just plug n play, what I'm going to do is use the esp32 based board I built to interface with the gear lever, brake booster and power steering to monitor the charge port, control charging and power up the zombie as well, it only draws around 20mA in light sleep mode much less than the zombie

Re: outlander charger with zombieverter
Ah okay, so then just monitor Proximity and wake up the charger and zombie. Powermanagement is not sorted on the OI stuff yet.

Re: outlander charger with zombieverter
I'm not a big fan of all these discrete controllers it gets messy one for the power steering another for the brake booster then the charge port I'd much rather put all of my eggs in one basket in this case

Re: outlander charger with zombieverter
My plan is to use the PP with an analogue in on zombie to automate charging. Though this isn't coded yet
Should be simple code and a couple of resistorsVW Beetle 2003

here an excel sheet that's got the actual voltages that the pin will see

Re: outlander charger with zombieverter
https://github.com/damienmaguire/Stm32-vcu/pull/69 I've added the ability to map one of the analogue input pins to be used with the Pilot Prox to enable charge mode. Needs the external resistors from the diagram above and the threshold setting if anyone wants to test it.
