Zombieverter: Open source VCU for reusing salvage EV components

Summary

An open-source EV conversion VCU (vehicle control unit) for controlling salvaged EV components! Introduction Modern EV conversion projects often look to reuse salvaged parts from wrecked vehicles, such as the motors, batteries and chargers. The issue is that each of these components and manufacturers, use different methods of control and communication. Developing controllers for these devices is complex, and time consuming and often require very dedicated communication protocols. Instead of making custom boards for every part that's been decoded, why not just make a general purpose VCU (vehicle control unit) with a verity of different types of inputs and outputs? Introducing: the "ZombieVerter" VCU - a general purpose EV conversion VCU. With a large array of inputs/outputs, control logic, and a web interface for configuration and data logging. The ZombieVerter is a powerful, flexible and customizable VCU well suited for EV conversions. It's also an open source project! The ZombieVerter supports popular salvaged EV parts such as: Nissan Leaf components Mitsubishi Outlander hybrid components Toyota and Lexus hybrid components CHAdeMO and CCS DC fast charging and more! The ZombieVerter features the following: Hardware: On-board WiFi 3x high side PWM drivers 5x low side outputs 3x input pins (pull to ground only) 3x CANbus interfaces LIN bus sync serial interface OBD-II interface etc. Software: Web based user interface Contactor control Charger control Charge timer Motor (inverter) control Heater control Water pump control Coolant fan control Throttle mapping Motor regen Cruise control (?) BMS limits IVT shunt initialization Data logging and graphing etc. Currently supported OEM hardware: *This list is always growing and changing, and not everything is verified working Motors/Drive units: Chargers/DCDCs: Heaters: BMS: Cars(for canbus control over dash, etc): 1998-2005 BMW 3-series (E46) CAN support 1996-2003 BMW 5-series (E39) CAN support 2001-2008 BMW 7-series (E65) CA...
