Generalized Electric Vehicle Control Unit
A project to create a fairly Arduino compatible ECU firmware to interface with various electric vehicle hardware over canbus (and possibly other comm channels)
The project builds in the Arduino IDE. So, use it to compile, send the firmware to the GEVCU, and monitor serial output. It is suggested though to use the Eclipse based Arduino Plugin by Sloeber which provides far superior development capabilities.
The v4 branch of this project provides the code base for GEVCU v4 with ichip or ESP32 as wifi board. Code for newer boards will be copied to separate branches (v6, v7) from Collin's repos.
You will need the following to have any hope of compiling and running the firmware:
- A GEVCU board. (Versions from 2 upward are supported)
- The latest Arduino IDE (or preferably Eclipse with ArduinoPlugin by Sloeber)
If you would like to replace the buggy ichip WiFi adapter with an ESP32, refer to https://github.com/neuweiler/GEVCUWeb
If you wish to extend the Output ports of your GEVCU v4 to 16 channels with a relay-board, refer to https://github.com/neuweiler/GEVCUExtension
If you use a GEVCU 2.x, please change the pin assignments for CFG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROTECT and CFG_WIFI_RESET in config.h according to comment.
