Zombieverter CAN EXT 3 Functionality

Post by nkiernan »

Currently CAN EXT 3 is functional but dedicated to Chademo use on the ZV VCU. Due to clashing CAN ID's on my own project, it would be good to have CAN EXT 3 available in the drop downs with 1 and 2 (BMW SBOX and BMS slaves and both terminated).

Is there a technical reason it isn't/can't be available on the drop downs, or is it something that could be implemented making it available in future? I'm expecting the crux is programming

It would open a whole CAN of worms, it has some through put limitations due to being SPI controlled.

Also the option matrix gets very big and complicated. It also is used to to alot of other options so would need a software matrix to enable and disable each which is not really easily done with the way the parameters work.

Ok, thanks Tom.

Figured if it was straightfoward it would already be implemented with the amount of work you guys are doing on the VCU, thanks for the support
