is there a way to Integrate the Tesla EPB ??

I have installed the complete Tesla axle, including the motor and electric brake. Is there a way to get the EPB running, perhaps even to integrate it into the zombieverter?

You can easily operate the parking brake using a power window "one touch" controller. You will need to source two, one for each parking brake. Autoloc 9862.

Looks like you installed a model s clip, the parking brake which has 4 connections opposed to the model 3 which just has 2.

There is a epb controller available https://pantera-electronics.com/epbcontroller.htm

Zombieverter won’t be able to do it as it dose not have a high current output drivers capable of powerkng the motor

Good catch @Bratitude: I didn't notice he was using an S unit. I have used the pantera controller on a project and while not cheap, it does work well.

I know that, and I already know the Panthera product, but I would prefer to integrate existing hardware. At the moment I am using an Arduino Uno for this purpose.

Unfortunately, I don't know how the Tesla EPB controller receives its signals to potentially integrate it. Arduino is too insecure and prone to failure for me.

Any caliper swaps fit?
Is the 4 wire a stepper setup?

According to the schematic above the four wires contain two for a DC motor and two for a hall sensor.

I completely missed that schematic..
