Welcome to the openinverter.org Wiki Site.
The open inverter project consists of some reference designs for the control hardware using an STM32F103, the inverter firmware, and an easy to use web interface. Other hardware variants include drop in boards for Tesla small and large drive units.
If you have received a kit you are probably looking for build instructions.
If you want to tune your inverter check the parameter description.
You might also want to set up CAN communication or use the inverter as a battery charger also.

Tesla Boards
Currently, there are two boards available designed specifically to run the drive units found in the Tesla Model S and Model X electric vehicles.
The Large drive unit (LDU) logic board and Small drive unit (SDU) logic board. The LDU board is designed to run the large rear drive unit found in the Model S and X. Both the standard and performance (sport) version. The SDU board is designed to run the small drive units ,both front and rear.
Both designs are based on the openinverter system and use the exact same firmware and web interface / wifi connectivity as the standard products.
A variant of the LDU found in the Mercedes B class ev can also be used.
In keeping with the open source philosophy, all designs including full schematics, pcb layouts, BOMs and Gerber files can be found on Github :

Fully built and tested and bare pcb boards are available from the EVBMW webshop :

Support for these boards will be provided via the OpenInverter forum and a full body documentation will be built up here on the Wiki over time.
