Getting Started

The open inverter project consists of three main aspects:

Reference designs for the control hardware using an STM32F103
The inverter firmware, which can control AC Induction motors or Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
An easy to use web interface.

There are two variants available:

Kit for use with your own power section. If you have received a kit you are probably looking for build instructions.
Kit for use with existing power sections, including drop in boards for Tesla small and large drive units.

If you want to tune your inverter check the parameter description.

Once you have the inverter parts, you will need additional components for your EV conversion:

More detailed information on these items can be found on the EV Conversion Parts page.

You might also want to set up CAN communication or use the inverter as a battery charger also.
