This post is just for whoever wants to do an upgrade in the future, either with a Diginow pan or something else third party. I finally got around to installing the 9.9kw charge pan that I had obtained about two years ago (don't judge me! I had injuries, then house projects, and other life stuff!)















The charge port bracket I made is available on Thingiverse. I 3d printed this one in NylonX (carbon nylon blend) but I think PETG would do just fine. The blender 3d file is also included in case any modifications need to be made.

And yes, the original tank still fits, so I get to keep the cargo space or possibly upgrde to a power tank.

As an update to this, a very skilled and trained electrical engineer in SF has updated this system. Internet username skonkfactory had a v2.5 system on their DSR and was quite satisfied for several years. Then some components failed and they reached out to me. Obviously the company and everything is sorta dead and gone, but I shared all my notes and diagrams and brandon's publicly-available source code.

Within short order skonk relayed their horror at how poorly constructed the control board was made and coded. Out of what can only be described as indignation and disgust they decided to fix everything. Over the next couple of weeks they sourced new, beefier hardware and then delved into the code. I heard a lot about how bad the code was. And the hardware. Basically brandon is a hack and I'm fine with that evaluation. Anyway skonk fixed the garbage coded, fixed the garbage hardware, and open-sourced it all. Oh, wait, also added wifi support so you can control your charging from the comfort of your own bed.

So... yeah. The Superchargerv2.5j isn't something I'm going to make, but I do plan on publishing all of skonk's stuff and hopefully make a DIY guide so that you, too, can have the most intelligent charging on your gen 2 Zero.

Unfortunately it looks like more then I can take on as a DIY project

Yeah, Looks like a deep project for someone like me. I could probably do it with some assistance, but life right now doesn't offer me the time. I'd pay good money if he offers a limited run of these.

if it looks like ass, remember, buttercoat is your friend

The rest? That's everything.

[zerodog]

Do you think this will work for the non-CAN version that use the resistor and switches?

By the way, the last pic cannot be view when I clicked on it.

[MVetter]

The whole point of this is to use CAN versions that interface with the bike's systems. If you have no interest in doing that then skip this entirely.

[zerodog]

Sorry, maybe you misunderstood my point.  I bought one of the last batch that you made where instead of the Bluetooth controller, a resistor was used along with the switches to initiate the ever and bike.  So I thought my Elcon are not CAN enable.  That is why I ask the above question.  If they are CAN enable, I will definitely give this a shot since I love to tinker.  Thanks for posting.

[MVetter]

Got it. All the units we sold had CAN. It was just fully isolated meaning it didn't interface with the bike. If you build your own 2.5j controller it should fully integrate and even have Wifi support now!

What, that I hit control V twice by mistake? You don't have to actually do it twice.

Unless you are in california, then you want to be for sure for sure

UUhhhh I dunno where they might have hosted it but I have it downloaded anyway. Lemme see if I can attach it here.

edit- nope 600k limit. Uhhhh lemme put it on my google drive
