I just went in on the forum and saw a bunch of new messages! Unfortunately a little later than I would have liked to. But I will check on the forum more often in the future. If you want to get my attention and make it easy for me to see the post just @isak me and I'll get a notification

Why Convert It? The goal wasn't to build the fastest EV. The goal was to keep everything that makes a Brumby a Brumby—dual-range gearbox, selectable 4WD and practicality—while giving it modern EV reliability, performance and range. It's still very much a development project, but it's now a fully drivable electric Brumby that retains the character and capability of the original vehicle.

Hi , @matthewjstead @KoduEV @isak . I have installed the 62kwh Yaste kit with the Yaste CAN bridge. It works but I have an issue with the Chademo charging and regen since the upgrade. I suspect it may be a communication issue between CAN bridge and resolve EV but can't rule out a hardware issue with the OBC. I also have an issue with charging not stopping autumatically at 100% but no problem with the 85%. other then that it's fine. we be happy to hear if any one has any ideas how to Diagnose those issues and fix them? that would help a whole lot of potential resolve EV users that would like a battery upgrade.

+1 on this. Cruise control integration would be awesome.

You should wire it so that it can turn on during charging, but it won't turn on during chademo charging since no power converson happens then ( so no loss that heats up the PDM / OBC). So instead of wiring from ignition you should wire it directly to the 12V. However for most ev conversions the fan never turns on because not that much heat is generated either when driving or charging

As the little suggests i have a intermittent fault with my resolve oled screen. I've gone through everything a good few times to diagnose it, but cant figure it out. Sometimes the splash screen comes up and it works fine, sometimes nothing. I cant predict it or do anything to cause the fault. Its pure luck as to when it chooses to work. All 4 wires are connected and wired correctly. 2 can wires, 1 negative and 1 live from the resolve ECU. When its working and not working all wiring, continuity and voltage remains correct. Im not using any none-leaf none-resolve can components. Just the Resolve ecu, oled and then leaf bms, inverter, pdm etc. Has anyone experienced this and have you found a solution? @isak
