2021 ZombieVerter VCU Hardware updates
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2026 8:32 pm
Hello,
I would like to make a summary about the hardware changes that happend to the ZombieVerter VCU since 2021.
I have a 2021 ZombieVerter VCU board which I would like to update to the current state of the art. I've searched the forum on what hardware changes happend in the past 4 years and this is what I found:
- "R50 will need to be changed to 1k and C45 to 1n in order for LIN to work properly"
- Changing R43 and R35 bias resistors to 150k
Would you please let me know if you know about any other recommended modifications apart from these two?
My electronics skills are not great, so I'm a bit uncertain about component I have to buy to replace C45, R50 and R43. I picked some components on Mouser according to my best knowledge and I would appreciate if someone could give me a feedback if they are correct.
R50:

C45:

R43, R35:

Thank you in advance!:)
