Project based on the
OpenInverter System by
Johannes Huebner to
provide a universal VCU
(Vehicle Control Unit)
for electric vehicle
conversion projects.
Please visit the
development thread on
the Openinverter Forum
for more information :
https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1277
Expanding on the original design, we have added extra header for ESP-01
and battery backup for
the controller.
NOTE
Pinouts have changed
from original design due
to different board
layout so please
reference schematic for
the changes
