Re: SOC via PWM

I got this working for both a SOC and temp gauge. Note I used a motor driver with a optoisolator. I also have a voltage regulator that runs at 10V. I tested on a leaf setup that is not yet in the car.
The frequency of modulation seemed high for my use so I modified the code to be able to adjust ...

SOC via PWM

Hello
I have been looking at how to I get the SOC out of the Zombieverter. I would like to have it drive my old fuel gauge. The gauge goes from 0-10 V.
My plan was to use a PWM to drive this but I don't see that as an option.
Have other people tried different solutions?
Thanks

Side note:
Old ...

Re: V 2.20a stuck in charge mode

Hello I set regenmax to 0 and the pulsing went away.
I can get it back if I hit the brake light :) Which probably means I need to set regenbrake to.

It will be a while until I get torque box. I ordered it in Oct but they are having issues.

Thanks
Aaron

Re: V 2.20a stuck in charge mode

I read through the code more and found Param::GetInt(Param::pot) < Param::GetInt(Param::potmin)
after checking my settings I found I needed to increase potmin. However the motor then did this funny low speed pulsing.
After turning off and restarting I realized I had disconnected the control for my ...

Re: V 2.20a stuck in charge mode

Hello
Thanks for the quick response.
I read through the code and found out that I had the Param Chgctl was probably the problem It was set to enable. When I changed to disable I am now powering up with opmode=off, UdcBelowUdcSw, last error=none, battery voltage(udc) 4, inverter temp 12.
Note my ...

V 2.20a stuck in charge mode

Hello
Summary questions.
1. Is pre-charge really fast, like 1sec?
2. Should the pre-charge relay stay on after pre-charge is complete?
3. Why am I stuck in opMode Charge?

I am working on getting a new install of the zombiverter working. I have upgrated to version 2.20a.
My system is a gen2 leaf ...

Re: unstable Wi-Fi connection

I have had lots of issues with this as well. I use a wemos for the web interface. One of my wemos units would never work and the one I use right now works most of the time. On occasion I have to reboot the whole controller then it starts working.
I have not yet got the whole VCU working as this was ...

Re: Zombie VCU Web Interface hangs/slow?

Ok that was silly. I simply didn't read all the instructions on flashing the esp and forgot to load the web files.
My fresh flash of a new esp seems to be working.
Now I feel comfortable using it to update the zombie board with the latest FW.

I am not sure what happened to the old esp. I flashed it ...

Zombie VCU Web Interface hangs/slow?

Hello
I am very new to the Zombieinverter. I had high hopes of getting much further than I have before asking questions but I can't do much as I can't reliably connect to the device.
I got it ~6 months ago and powered it on to look at all the settings and learn a little about it. At that time I ...
