Introduction

Rather than crack open inverters and swap components about to drive them, what if we simply send them the messages they're expecting? This has been the case with a couple of existing designs (Nissan leaf inverter and GS450H) and thanks to the SAM3X8E microcontroller no longer being stocked by JLCPCB this project looks to take it further.


So rather than driving an inverter powerstage this version sends CAN for the Leaf inverter or Sync serial for the GS450H and of course can be expanded to any number of others. This will be the default firmware for all vcu products from now on and future hardware will support future fun packed stuff like FLEXRAY!!!


It's basically an rip off homage and builds on other people's hard work in the shape of the following projects


What we have as of now is the openinverter wrapper with things like :

  • Throttle cal and mapping,
  • Precharge and contactor control,
  • Temp derating,
  • BMS limits,
  • for/rev/neutral control,
  • Graphing and monitoring,
  • Firmware updates via the web interface,
  • Cruise control,
  • Fuel gauge driver,
  • etc , etc
