ZombieVerter VCU
ZombieVerter is an Open Source VCU by Damien Maguire/EVBMW + community https://openinverter.org/wiki/ZombieVerter_VCU used increasingly in electric vehicle conversion projects.
The OVMS integration makes use of the ODB2 module in the ZombieVerter VCU, so all you need to do is set the ODB2Can parameter in the ZombieVerter VCU Web UI to match the can interface the OVMS module is on and it’ll be able to make the requests for the spot params.
This early version only supports 1 way communication, but I plan to add preheating and cooling as well as charge control as I get to it.
