Hi janosch,

Appreciate the heads-up from someone who has been there before! Like you I was a bit surprised by how much the integration bled across subsystems. I like the egg analogy.

> isolate the inverter and motor and make them believe they are still in the original vehicle by replaying CAN messages, ZombieVerter is a project with that approach

For sure, great tips. This is what I've been working towards - at the time of that post I was spoofing the minimum number of CAN messages (still quite a lot), but in the months since I've been gradually replacing modules with spoofed signals by reversing them one at a time. Some of the follow-up blog posts have details about this.

I'm approaching the point of only needing the original motor stack (inverter, charger, etc), the original BMS, and all other modules spoofed out via CAN messages and a few discrete wired signals. The OEM BMS might turn out to be too hard to re-integrate once the battery pack gets split apart, but can cross that bridge when I come to it.

More blog posts (and open hardware & software) to come, I hope!
